Best Answer

Roman religion and Roman government were intertwined to an extent. Although many, perhaps most, Romans were not religious, they were superstitious. They believed that because they honored the gods, the gods favored Rome by granting them their successes and the empire's prosperity. Rituals for the good of the state had to be carried out exactly and, at certain times, offerings were made to the deities. If these offerings/ceremonies were not performed correctly, there was a belief that the gods would withhold their favor from the Romans.

Answer: The Roman Christian Church and its doctrines were created for political reasons (to support a failing Roman Empire) around 300 A.D.. Its descendants, the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Protestant Church were all created for political reasons. These political creations upheld the "divine right of kings" and stripped people of what we now call "civil liberties" for centuries. Answer: there is always a relationship between government and religion.
