Police used to enforce
something that a religion considered bad. Relifion still considers it bad, but it's now legal. In fact, police now enforces the opposite - court orders that demostrators should not interfere with the work of clinics, and religious nuts have to resort to illegal tactics. I think that's an illustration of religion's influence weakening, not getting stronger.
