The Chinese rulers did use religion to justify and
strengthen their powers over the people they ruled. They used to justify their
actions by hiding behind the curtain of religion. Sometimes their wrong doings
were also put up in such a manner that the common people for the fear of god
were unable to raise their voice. The Chinese rulers presented themselves as
the representatives of the all mighty. Sometimes they were audacious enough to
represent themselves as god, so that their powers were never challenged.
