Certainly since humanity gave up the hunter/gatherer lifestyle and settled down to an agricultural existence religion has been part and parcel of the ruling class.

As Jefferson said: "In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them."

Smart guy, that Jefferson.
