Your question is far too broad and assumes too much.
You need to be more specific. You need to define 'church' and 'people'.
Many 'people' did not, adherents of Islam for instance.

I am not sure the Church was "hard" during the Middle Ages. The Church spent a lot of energy providing for the sick and poor, giving people refuge, representing the needs of the poor to the kings, and protecting people. There is a link below to a related question, "What was the role of the Church in the Middle Ages?"
During the Middle Ages art was mainly commissioned by The Church.
Christian Church

Most people of Western Europe, for most of the Middle Ages, were linked by a belief in Christianity, in the communion of the Catholic Church.
The Roman catholic church during the middle ages in Europe can best be described as a church that was a stable influence. This was during a time where central governments were weaker.
