Religions/gods are a very useful tool in controlling people. The fear of unknown power and its potential consequences can be used effectively to control and direct people's actions and reactions, today as well as in earlier times.

The aristocracies in the Mesopotamian cities were able to use the gods to direct and control, a very significant part of government control and direction, which they used to the full.

Unfortunately, even with the benefit of scientific knowledge today, with unseen forces of gods unnecessary, large numbers of people still are influenced by such control and motivation.
