In what ways did religion influence the Magna Carta?

The Magna Carta mentions religion only once. It requires that the king respect the rights of the church (to own property, run it's estates, accumulate wealth; in other words, to run its own affairs without royal interference, etc.).
Kings/rulers had claimed "divine right" to rule absolutely. The Magna Carta demanded that the ruler/king respect the rights of free men and attempted to define some of those rights, in other words, to limit the "divine right" to rule absolutely.
