Emperors often used religion as a tool to legitimize their authority and unify their subjects by presenting themselves as divinely appointed leaders. By aligning their rule with religious beliefs, they fostered loyalty and obedience among the populace, who viewed their governance as sanctioned by the divine. Additionally, state-sponsored religious institutions often reinforced the emperor's power, promoting social cohesion and discouraging dissent through the shared values and norms imposed by religious doctrine. This manipulation of religion helped maintain stability and control over diverse populations within empires.
