Presumably, it's based on the concept of the separation of Church and State, which is a relatively old concept surrounding the belief in the freedom of religion. It ensures that the state cannot dictate a citizen's religious beliefs. People of any faith are free to gather and practice their religion without fear of government interference, influence, or persecution.
Based on that, my understanding of Greenpeace's message is that they want the oil industry to be able to operate freely without any outside interference or influence from the government. Clearly, their goal is the complete elimination of all government regulations of the oil industry, and presumably, elimination of the collection of royalties from the industry.
There really is no other logical way to interpret their message, unless you assume the people who conceived of it are complete idiots.
