In the beginning, the Chuch and State were one. The ruler was a living God or a descendant of the Gods.
Then men began to believe in self-actualization instead of pre-destiny. We learned that eclipses are caused by the rotation of the planets and moon and earthquakes are shifts in the earths plates.
Kind of throws all those religious fallacies under the bus.
Sadly, more men and women have died in the name of God than Stalin ever killed.
