The answers for each one of these questions are:

So, is religion a good thing or does an empire or nation have a right to tell people how and what to worship?

Yes, religion is a good thing however nor nation or empire has the right to tell people how to and what to worship. But they can share their faith with them.

If people want to worship nothing, should they also be forced to worship what and how the government wants them to worship?

No, people shouldn't be forced to believe in something or worship it.

Explanation:

To understand these answers we need to need to analyze a few things before. In the first place, religion or faith is something that even when it is taught it can't be practiced if the evidence is not enough to make the learner believe. Therefore, it shouldn't be imposed. We should believe in what convinces us. Also, even when empires can suggest and share their faith, they shouldn't promote it so hard, reaching ways it feels forced because that would create the opposite effect of what they want.
