No it's not; Buddhist monks are an example.
But those who seek power and at the same time have no morals would use anything to make them stronger, religion, sex, force, science...etc.
In the race of power though; religion is a loser. Religious institutions are always invaded and controlled by the government or the royalty. There are other stronger means of rising to power.
Don't think of God as a human. God is more absolute, he is not a creature. It's not that "he cares about what you eat", but more like "he putted laws to govern his created universe". So if you break the law; you meet a certain fate. If you translated it to "other words"; it would be "He ordered you and if you disobey he punishes you".
