I believe the answer is: Permissible only if it is secular in purpose, neither promotes nor inhibits religion, and does not lead to excessive entanglement with religion.

For example, when a certain religion advocate their followers to conduct harm towards other people.

In this case, the religion conducted an infringement for other people's right as a citizens and the government has proper ground to intervene.
