The medieval church used its religious power to manipulate people into thinking that if they did not do what the church mandated, they would go to hell.

Officially Great Britain is ruled by the Anglican Church, but the Anglican Church has more-or-less retreated from a direct rulership position and only remains in power by bishops who sit in the House of Lords and the monarchy.
