The horde has become an integrated society with an elaborate subdivision of labor headed by a witchdoctor-ruler. The witchdoctor-ruler has not only the sole right to interpret the wishes of God but now sets himself up as God himself. To the mass of people this is very fitting because he acts as the very devil. The people become slaves to their devil lord and master, their God. They include astrologers, viscera inspectors and interpreters, necromancers, magicians, soothsayers, oracles, wizards, dream interpreters, priests, temple guardians, etc.
Religion takes the form of gods perpetually fighting and becoming devils.
To the mass of slaves, all act like devils. There is no good god, no god of love, but only gods to propitiate, gods of evil. In addition to the regular army of the ruler to enforce the faith, there is also the clerical army of the faith. One physically compels belief, the other swindles its way into the minds of men to have them believe from their first days of birth. For belief means obedience and obedience is the first duty of the slave.
