how did religion reinforce the social hierarchy of european nation?

It appeared to give the authority from God, which brought more people to show respect for them out of fear.

well i know that during the roman empire, constantine, who was the emperor of the empire, had a major impact on Christianity because he was christian. religion is always associated with the social world. as for the hierarchy bishops, priests, ministers, apostles all were important and then came the military or the common peoples

The kings just claimed that God or whoever's up there proclaimed them king, and because everybody was religious at the time, if the religion backed them then no one was going to argue except another God-chosen ruler and yeah...It really seems like God decided that ruling was too much for one person, so he delegated it to a heck of a lot of people, then decided that it was too boring to split it up, and so gave them the ability to want other people's land... ??
