What kind of political social and religious world was Jesus born into?
Both.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Israel is the ancestral home of the Jewish people. Mormons believe that the creation of the political state of Israel and the returning of Jews to that nation, as well as the political and religious unrest that takes place there, are in fulfillment of Biblical prophesy and a sign of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ drawing nearer.

The Antichrist is believed by many to a religious and political superpower that will arise in the Middle East mainly in Israel to mimic counter the ministry of Jesus and Christian beliefs. Many people will follow his false teachings and believe the he is the messiah returning.
Rome ruled the Holy Land during Jesus' time so anyone in power--political and religious had to cooperate with Rome. Messianic religions which called for the overthrow of Rome's rule were suppressed and/or controlled.
Everyone with political or religious power, due to the belief that the Son of Man was going to rule Israel. The most threatened individual was Satan, although he didn't realise that this opportunity to hurt God by killing his son was playing right into God's plans.
Jesus was considered a threat to the religious and political establishment at the time. His followers were calling him "king" and "messiah". This did not sit well with the authorities as Jewish unrest and messianic movements were considered problems. Any one who could move large crowds (and was not approved by the political and religious leaders) had to go.
