Or rather how to enforce your rules without needing to use military (hinduism caste system, I'm looking at you).
I mean if I go around and say that I should be on top because I say so, the lowly peasants might get some wierd ideas that if they ursup the power they can be on top. But if a god say so then those weaklings cannot ursup me without getting punished!

Admittable this has more to do with how religion ends up in a power position and later on as the basics for laws.
