Why do People Bring Religion into their Protests?

The infamous Kaali poster row is an example of how one has to keep the beliefs of others in mind while doing anything. Though director Leena Manimekalai might have designed the poster in a way that suits her title and concert of film. But she failed to understand the consequences.
The political heat around the issue is not over yet. Amid this, a similar issue erupted after a man choose to dress up like Lord Shiva to protest. Unhappy with the growing prices a person decided to hit the roads to protest. But he dressed up like Lord Shiva.
The issue grabbed everyone's attention as it was reported from Assam, where the saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party is in power. After a few complaints against the accused, he was arrested and granted bail.
India is a democratic country and everyone has the right to express their views. Staging protests against the soaring prices of fuel, commodities, and cooking gas is not a wrong thing. The opposition parties and the parties that are unhappy with BJP have been doing the same.
At regular intervals we see the political parties lashing out at the BJP-led Union government on the hike in the prices. But they show some decency and they never brought religion or religious beliefs into the protest.
By bringing such sensitive issues, the protest or fight turns political and various elements get attached. With this, the path the issue has been traveling changes at once.
We have seen this in Nupur Sharma's incident. Unable to withstand the comments, a Muslim man said against Lord Shiva in the Gynavapi masjid row, Nupur Sharma, who was a BJP official spokesperson then made some objectionable comments and the issue created a big uproar. Besides Arab nations pulling up India, Nupur Sharma also received a few threats.
Coming back to the Assam issue, the constant rise in prices of various services is a burning issue in the country without any doubt. But this doesn't give any scope for the protestors or others to bring religion into it. One wonders what made the accused and other women dress up like Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati when they want to protest.
