It does, sadly, represent man's evil ideal for controlling the masses under an easily susceptible construct, especially during a time when we were still quite young in understanding our world and what existed beyond our world.
Truth be told, before the Judeo-Christian movement, life was more peaceful, at least from what we can understand of culture at that time.
