Again 500-1000 years ago, these things bound cultures and kingdoms and societies together, to a much greater degree than today, so I think they were entirely justified for the overall good of society in their times. I think we have to look at a lot of these buildings with the prism of the era in which they were built, not with our modern viewpoints.
