Yes, the leader of a country has a pretty large impact on the population, depending if they are popular, their views may resonate with certain groups of the population that will worship and support them, giving their money and time to their cause, just like people did for the church. These leaders make influential decisions that affect the entire country, and while there are more balances in today’s society, they still hold enormous power over the country’s future. Many people look up to the leader of their country as a role model, leading its people to a better tomorrow, and devote supporters may do almost anything the leader asks them to (whether it is voting or degrading other people not in favor of the leader), this was similar to the church as well. Many people are still religious today, but in many parts of the world that has diversified compared to the chokehold the church used to have a couple hundred years ago. The main religions today are (still) Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. They may go and spend their time worshipping their chosen god, pay money to their church or mosque or take part in holidays celebrating the religion. In conclusion, the leaders of countries still have a major impact on many people today, much like the Church did in the past, convincing their citizens/followers to believe in their vision and very word.
