Because governing people involves regulating them and bringing them into conformity with rules or principles for their own well being and safety.
To have proper rules and principles, you must have absolute truth.
To have absolute truth, you must have a source of truth.
The source of truth is God. A people's faith in Him could be considered our Religion.
God is the creator and ruler over all the earth (~Psalm 47:2, Zechariah 14:9) and Jesus Christ is the prince of the kings of the earth and the government shall be upon his shoulders. (~Revelation 1:5, ~Isaiah 9:6) And the earth is the Lords and everything in it. (~Psalm 24:1)
Who knows how to govern people better than God, the creator of mankind? All governments should base their governing on the laws that God has already given in Deuteronomy.

As government expands and gains more power, both citizens and leaders of the country should assure that the promoting of a religion does not form into a force. No religion should be forced upon any one.

∙ 11y agoReligion is never important to any government that oversees large masses of people with diverse beliefs. Some small countries that are populated by one religion need a governing body that has an understanding of that religion.
Morality should play a critical role in choosing a representative but it is seldom invoked.
In major countries, religion and government are separate as they should be.
