Religion has played a very important role in the Sumerian society. The Sumerians believed they were supposed to obey and serve the gods. They believe they were inferior to the gods and afraid of what the gods could do to them. They believed in the afterlife and if they were good in their first life they would be rewarded in their second life. The most beautiful temples were built in honor of the gods and they believed that they owned the cities, making their society a theocracy.
