All most religions are is a series of laws. So, the answer to that question is yes, but it works both ways.
Many religous laws were born from political, social or historical events that the church (or leaders) felt the need to address.
Most first year law books on the orgins of law would support you thesis.

Actually, religion has made a lot of laws that have enslaved peoples thoroughout history. There's a reason why the Enlightenment helped spark the French revolution. You know... that *other* revolution, where thousands of people got their heads cut off. There were three classes of people at that time: the royals, the clergy and everyone else. Guess which two groups helped make oppressive, tyrannical governments that were highly effected by religion. Guess which groups were beheaded in large numbers.

For a huge majority of citizens and law makers, ethics is defined by religion. So laws are effected by religion.
