Not all religious people were anti-theatre. In fact most of them were in favour of it. There was this small but extremely vocal group of ultra-protestants called the Puritans who were opposed on principle to people having a good time. They felt that if people were going to gather together to hear something, it should be a sermon, not a play. They were the biggest opponents of theatre (all theatre, not just Shakespeare) and when they came to power they had all of the public theatres closed and plays made illegal in 1642.
