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.
Home rule means that local governments in Michigan can adopt its own government and makes its own rule as long as it doesn't go against state laws.
I hope this helps you:)
