There is no real hierarchy. At whatever
level the threat is presented the moral human will react to minimize or
eliminate the threat. Ideally the God/secular leader will never
threaten the community, but the history of both religious and secular
nations is local revolution against the oppressive/corrupt leadership.
The Lutherans against the Church, the Americans against the King, etc.
Occasionally, actually frequently these days the face group will
withdraw from the denomination or city to create a de-facto separate
community with a different moral paradigm. Gated communities on one
side of the aisle and rainbow congregations on the other. In most cases
the larger moral entity will ignore the smaller, but revolutions are
made of active repression of different moral paradigms.
