After Tywin was murdered by Tyrion, and the High Septon was imprisoned, Cersei convinced the others to elect the High Sparrow as the High Septon. She also signed a decree allowing the Faith Militant (the Sparrow's fighters we always see defending him) to bear arms and dispense justice that has to do with religion.
Yet another example of Cersei not thinking ahead of potential consequences of her actions.
