The Imperial cult of ancient Rome identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority of the Roman State.
This idea is the same concept of the divine right of kings which gave men the right to literally decide good and evil as ruling judges and usurp the right of the individual members of society to decide fact and law.
These human gods and their temples had a function in society and their governments that is commonly misunderstood because if we did it might change the world of religion and our understanding of the Kingdom of God.
