"The religious acts whereby men, in private and in public and out of a sense of personal conviction, direct their lives to God transend by their very nature the order of terrestrial and temporal affairs. Government therefore ought to take account of the religious life of the citizenry and show it favor, since the function of government is to make provision for the common welfare. However, it would clearly transgress the limits set to its power were it to presume to command or inhibit acts that are religious."
SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL
P.S. I don't believe they counted as "religious" individual terrorists hiding behind that designation or organized groups of such vermin.
