Due to the dirigibility of people's minds, they are directed to the narrative of a religion or a government, and with their minds being imprinted with that narrative, come under the subjection of the polity of that religion or government.
Perspectives of thought which come outside the narrative of that government or religion are then extenuated and deprecated in subjected people's minds, because they sanction only the narrative imprinted within their thought.
The authority is exercised in that respect: People adhere to the polity of their particular religion or government and disregard other views outside that arena of thought - resulting in them remaining followers of the government or religious institution of choice.
The discharge of the duties of their government or religion, a lack of accomplishments, the contrary deeds and the errors are irrespective to subjected people, as long as the narrative is adjusted admissibly to them.
Religion and government exercise authority over people by their implied consent.
A religion exercises authority over those people who believe in the doctrines of the religion and are willing to accept its authority. It can also exercise authority over minority or marginalised people by influencing the government to pass laws favourable to the religion.
In a democracy, people elect the government then, having done so, generally accept the right of the government to exercise authority over them. In a Dictatorship, consent is obtained by coercion.
There is no blanket answer, however most dictatorships do not exercise limited authority over people.
Government: is made up of people that exercise its powers, all those who have authority and control people.State: is a body of people, living in a defined territory, organized politically, and the power to enforce the law with out the consent of any higher authority.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution allows people to practice their own religion. It includes the Free Exercise Clause, which protects the right to freely practice one's religion without government interference.
religion. People started to question the authority of the church.
I think it hinges on one very fundamental question. What is the government's source of authority? In democracies and democratic republics, the people give a government any authority that it has, and so the government is accountable to the people. If this is taken seriously, governments never reach a point where they can become oppressive and dangerous. No individual rises above the law; all government office holders and institutions stand accountable before the people. Central to this idea is the clear distinction between civil [religion-neutral] authority and the private practice of religion.

The people
We the People is where government gets its power.
The First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution prohibits the Government from establishing an official religion or favoring one religion over another. It also guarantees...your right to freely exercise your religion,your freedom of speech,freedom of the press,the right of the people peaceably to assemble, andthe right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Civil government in the United States received its authority from the people through the Constitution.
The religion clause of the First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This clause prohibits the government from establishing a national religion or interfering with individuals' rights to practice their own religion.
