How do religious beliefs influence a society’s laws?

Allowing religion to affect laws limits people's freedoms. Religious influence should remain out of laws and out of politics in general. ... Although some laws — such as laws against murder or thievery — are also found in religious texts, they are basic moral and ethical codes and address issues that are blatantly wrong.

I think it is not fair that laws should be created because of ones beliefs because not everyone believes in the safe thing, like not every religion believes that abortion is bad, so why make it a law for a womans choice, or you might as well make everyone cover their hair because of ones religion. but you see, laws should be rules, not dumb choices we can make for ourselves and the government should not tell us what we can’t and can do with our body.
