Religion and Control

Throughout history, religion has been used as a means to defend and rule people who are acting. The two earliest examples are Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The time frame to be discussed before the Persians directly affect India will be 1500 - 500 BC in BC 521 - 486 BC and BC. The Persian religion is considered to be called Zoroastrianism or its derivatives, Akaemenian. (In this article, the Persian religion is called worship fire.) But Cyrus did not try to spread his religion, he introduced himself as a sacred person to other religions.

In the last millennium, religion and power have been closely related. Strong leaders have used people's religious beliefs. If the leader dominates religion, he will rule the believer's heart. In the past, pastors and church leaders played an important role in the government. These characters give them strength and influence to the next people. The Indian caste system leads clergy and other religiously powerful people to the highest level of society. In the Vatican City, the Pope operates the whole country. He is also the leader of the Catholic Church. This shows the relationship between power and the church. In many tribal societies, medical or religious leaders are respected among his compatriots. He is involved in religious activities. Fundamentally, if you control the hearts of your people, you also control their body.

The ability of Queen Elizabeth to dismantle the Roman Catholic Church played an important role in establishing her control over religion. She can destroy population control by the Catholic Church by replacing it with a new system. Many Catholics in Britain fled to the African Continent to protect their religious beliefs, or converted to the British National Church. Elizabeth did not face a fully organized Catholic resistance to her policy. Soon after the reign she insisted that she did not want to make windows in her soul and publicly criticized the desire to destroy the persecution of sister control.
