  1. The problem of every leader is to inculcate in his followers a WILLINGNESS to BE LED. This willingness can only come from some sense of personal benefit to be gained by the follower in following that leader. That means the leader must appeal to the most driving interest of his followers, else he risks ineffective, because lukewarm, support. In the case of religions, the appeal is to after-death disposition--a VERY compelling interest! The especially astute politician might rightly use religion for political purposes. "Hey, even if they don't want to obey ME, they'll certainly obey GOD, for whom I speak! Hahaha...why didn't I think of this sooner!" Yeah...like that...
