how did religion influence magna carta?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Only one major clause in the Magna Carta of 1215 is relevant to religion -- the  guarantee of liberties for the English Church. Otherwise, it dealt primarily with feudal customs and the system of justice, as the barons' response to the exploitation and abuses of King John. In fact, only three of its provisions remain valid today: freedom of the English Church, affirmation of freedom for London and other English towns, and -- most important -- the right of any man against arrest, imprisonment or seizure of his property without due process.

The religion influnced them by making them think the HAD TO have the Catholic churchs  so they didnt go to hell. King John was excommunicated till 1209 so he wouldnt be able to go until a pope took the excommunicytion off of him
 this should help too:
Religion, and the fear of Hell, were very important to the people including the barons. The Catholic Church taught the people that they could only get to Heaven if the Catholic Church believed that they were good enough to got there. How could they show their goodness and love of God if the churches were shut ? Even worse for John was the fact that the pope excommunicated him in 1209. This meant that John could never get to Heaven until the pope withdrew the excommunication. Faced with this, John climbed down and accepted the power of the Catholic Church giving them many privileges in 1214.
