Yes politicians have been busy trying to force the christian religion on the entire population. They have and continuing to take public funds to prop up the religious institutions that do not want to pay their own expenses but instead line up at the public money $$$$ trough. Grossly dishonest, but then there is a long history of unethical behavior. The religious leaders have long lined up with the powerful and dishonest to pursuit of support for their power and wealth. For both "stealing does pay" and they have no fear of any "Final Judgment" that is what they feed to their "sheep"!
