Wrt the "meat ban on Paryushan" and "meat ban on Ekadadhi" controversy --- Blue laws in USA
.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laws_in_the_United_States
.
Many States in USA promoted so called Blue Laws to increase church attendance on Sunday mornings !!!
.
As per these laws, sale of liquors is almost prohibited on Sunday mornings !!! Many state also restricted sale of groceries, cars,etc on Sunday morning.
.
The idea was --- restrict people from doing activities so that chances that they will attend church increases. 
.
And more, if and employee wants to attend church, then employer will not ask him to come to work, as employer is legally prohibited from running his business.
/
Most Blue Laws have been repealed.
.
But a good food for thought.
