Should governments start regulating religion?

I think we as as a society should be done with religion, I'm not atheist and I think anyone should believe what they want but in my opinion there should be majour pressure on organised religions to stay out of any political scenario/ local election/law enforcment etc. We need to leave it behind us and move forward. Strong belief systems of any kind should be kept away from societal matters and politics imo, just look what Hitler done with just one deeply embedded belief.

And look what the Soviet Union did to it's people with the idea of no religion. Both sides are evil. Allowing people to have their beliefs and allowing them to be able to express them (individually, politically, etc) or NOT to is what the U.S. was founded upon. I don't want to be like Hitler Germany OR Soviet Union, I want to be us (as bad as that is at times, it is better than than other two).
