it is acceptable when your religious practices hurt someone else.
for example, it goes against some religions to get vaccinations, but you have to have them to be able to go to school.

The Government can limit religious practices if the practices are harmful to others.
It was made illegal in 1970. The federal government does restrict its use in a religious ceremony but state governments can restrict it.
The government may require a religious group to have a permit to parade that religion. The Federal Government may draft those who have religious objections to military service. Organizations that enlist children to sell religious literature to obey child labor laws.
The First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause guarantees individuals the right to practice their religion freely without government interference. It protects against laws or actions that would prohibit or restrict religious beliefs and practices. However, this right is not absolute, as it may be subject to certain limitations, especially when religious practices conflict with compelling governmental interests.
The three limits on the Free Exercise Clause include: 1) Laws that are neutral and generally applicable can restrict religious practices if they do not target a specific religion; 2) The government can impose restrictions for compelling state interests, such as public health or safety; and 3) Religious practices cannot violate established laws that protect the rights of others, such as laws against discrimination or harm. These limits help balance religious freedom with societal interests and individual rights.

Faith based initiatives--money goes directly from the government to religious organizations; politicians promise religious constituents that they will help promote their political agendas in return for votes--and they do such as taking sides in the abortion debate.
how do you show respect for the religious practices of different religious sect
A government ruled by religious leaders is called a theocracy. Theocracy is a form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler.Another view: A government controlled church also means less religious freedom to worship as your conscience dictates, and more religious persecution.
Religion has been discouraged in China since 1949 due to the Chinese Communist Party's ideology of atheism and the perceived threat of religious influence on political stability. The government seeks to maintain control over society and views religion as a potential challenge to their authority. They promote a secular state and restrict religious practices to limit any opposition or dissent.
they sacrificed people as one of their main religious practices
In certain cases government can limit the way you practice your religious beliefs because the U.S. supreme court has ruled that certain religious practices may be forbidden without violating constitutional rights.
