Yes, people took their religion seriously in those days. Religious affiliation had a serious political dimension in Europe after the Reformation. In England, the official Church was the Church of England, and anyone who didn't go to church would be required to pay a fine. People who supported some other religious view were likely to be tortured or killed. On the other hand, supporting the Roman Catholic religion was like wanting to overthrow the monarchy, and in fact, Catholics did try to kill the king in 1605 (The Guy Fawkes Plot).
