The ruling elite has traditionally used fear to control the masses and maintain their position of privilege.
And since the Church has been part of the conservative establishment they have used fear to control us.
Thus the Church preaches punishment and judgement, heaven and hell.
This is the carrot and stick approach of the ruling elite.
Also you will find that they claim Divine Right to rule.
That is they claim the God Himself has given them the authority to rule on Earth.
Thus we have seen the Divine Right of Kings and the Born to Rule attitude of the aristocracy.
These things are not true.
But because they are enforced with violence they inspire the fear in the masses that they require.
My friend Ruth would say this is human nature.
Others might say it is the way of the world.
But Jesus said the way of the world is evil.
And this inequality and privilege which is enforced with violence and fear is evil itself.
