Shared religion is a factor in a sense of shared culture and identity in a nation-state. Religion, or lack thereof, is an integral part of a person's identity. People tend to group up with people of the same religion, and it helps to create a cohesion among people. It can also be used to motivate and bring together the people of a nation, calling for war, peace, or any other large-scale activity in the name of the nation's religion.
Religion (and other civic associations) provide an outlet for public opinion that is often critical of the nation-state. Outlawing religion doesn't work unless there are no other civic institutions such as unions, political parties, and local governments. Religion is always the way to speak out against the nation-state even if the leaders are chosen by the state because the prayers of groups of men can be done without leaders.
"A laissez-faire economy gives businesses more space and autonomy from government rules and regulations that would make business activities harder and more difficult to proceed. Such an environment makes it more viable for companies to take risks and invest in the economy."
Hamilton wanted a strong central government because he was afraid that the state governments would be (as they had been under the Articles of Confederation) too democratic. He worried that they would force the governments to pass laws like the stay laws that would harm the country's economy.
