Church and State were one until just a few centuries ago.
Rome certainly ran her business under the unification of Church and State. I suspect other ancient civilizations did so as well.

Religion is the origin of government, law, banking, and money.
All of these began with the priestly class.

You can start with the Sumerians and Babylonians.
The Babylonian mystery system will lend more to studies as well.
