In the non-priviledge state were: The workers, peasants and craftsmens.

The Clergy and the Nobles had polithical and economic power, they were the richest in the middle ages I think they make it for the people to like it, be atractive and things like that also for it uses (pray...), also they made it for last a lot of years, centuries like the ones who are in madrid built in the middle ages. The religion in the middle ages were very extended all the people pray and all this things, the people who not believe in god were killed, is a stupid idea kill people that not believe in God, if they believe, is their opinion they can believe in wherever they want in all religions.
