It's more important than that.  

When you look upon youself as being created by God, you have rights
that no man can abrogate, without setting himself up as a sort of
deity himself.  

The State is not the ultimate authority in this kind of worldview;
instead it is a sort of steward or caretaker that has to operate
within certain limits set by the Man Upstairs.

This is why Russia under the Tsars, as despotic as they were, was
still better than under Communism.
