Propaganda has a really long history. Once upon a time church attendance was mandatory so that the priest could tell you what to think - part of the attraction of the reformation was to take over this proganda system by the princes. And of course there was the threath of eternal punishment or reward to keep your mind anxiously glued to the pie in the sky.

In this light the tradition (at least up here) to get as drunk as you possibly could the day before a holy day and spend the sermon in a tired hungover state looks practically subversive.
