Religion became the dominant unifying force during this time because of the lack of strong political rulers. Without a dominant empire like Rome or China, there was considerable instability and people turned to religion to provide structure and safety by uniting with various people with similar beliefs. It allowed people to unify for physical and psychological safety, regardless of where they lived. Powerful religious movements occurred in China, the Iranian plateau, and Europe due to the lack of powerful political structure or institution.
-Catherine of Aragon
