Regardless of whether or not some authoritarian god exists in the sky, the acquiescence to such an authority -even in principle- breeds earthly misery. Thus we have "the divine right of kings"- just as one example. The various doucheries perpetrated by authoritatrian states and leaders who claim their legitimacy by the legitimacy of the principle (and then accepted- even participated in- by the very people whom they oppressed), being another.
I have the power, I make the rules. If people believe this about their god, why wouldn't it hold for their potentate?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
