Both the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphates used the dominant religion (Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam respectively) to justify wars of conquest. The religious leadership also helped create an easy way of tracking individuals in the empire by centralizing worship and registries. The provincial divisions in the empire were reinforced by the hierarchical division of religious leaderships (Patriarchs/Synods and Muftis respectively). Additionally, the religions provided a code of ethics that would serve as a basis to the legal codices of the countries.
