A Government that would establish a religion would also remove man's free will. Reading to much into it?

No, not at all. Imagine Christians living in Nero's Rome. The government--albeit, an autocratic one--found it necessary to use those believers as human torches and scapegoats. This is a government not establishing a religion, but condemning minority sects.

A better example of government establishing religion would be The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Enough said, right?
