AnswerEthics should play a part in governance. Some people may find the source of their own ethical values in religion. But religion, in and of itself has no place in governance, except of a religious institute.

it shouldn't because our government does not need to waist its time messing around with people who believe in some bearded guy in the sky who can fly and use super powers. that doesn't solve our economic problems, foreign problems, and it doesn't allow world peace. so no, government shouldn't interfere with religion.

No. No, no, no. Absolutely not. Government has to be, or should be, religion neutral.

In the US this is prohibited. It would be a violation of the doctrine of Separation of Church and State. This is a Supreme Court interpretation of the First Amendment.

What do political parties and other groups think should be done about the issue with women's rights and the church?

That would depend on the religion involved. In the United States of America, the Government has no business interfering with religious dogma, tradition and issues. Politics should not and legally can not be involved with this issue. People within these parties may have an opinion, but legally the parties should not be involved. Separation between church and state was originally setup to prevent politics from being involved with these issues, not to prevent the church from interfering with politics. Thomas Jefferson made the issue very clear by explaining the wall of separation that the state should never tear down. The issue has always been that the government should not get involved with the church.

Should the church be limited to the spiritual and religious realms alone?

Some would say that the Church should also be involved in matters of ethics and morals, as well as just the spiritual and religious realms. However, the history of the Church is such that no faith can genuinely be placed in the Church as a leader in that realm. Not only have many church leaders failed as examples to their congregations, there is no evidence that Christians are less likely than others to break the law or be imprisoned. Whatever Christian teachings may have achieved in the spiritual and religious realms, they seem to have achieved little in the matters of ethics and morals, and should perhaps now encourage the secular teaching of ethics. Certainly, there is no reason for the Church to be involved in politics or in determining the passage of secular laws.
