Enough "thou shall nots" can help the public obey laws without overt law enforcements. If the public believes that authorities are "divinely sanctioned", they are more likely to obey the authorities. Telling people that poverty is a virtue can allow the power elites to appropriate most of the wealth of the nation for themselves. Christianity tells slaves to obey their masters and wives to obey their husbands. Installing a work ethic makes the people create wealth for their masters. Sexual morality allows the state to dictate how to raise their families, and that their bodies must be controlled.
