How did Roman religion strengthen support for the government?
Roman religion and Roman government were intertwined to an extent. Although many, perhaps most, Romans were not religious, they were superstitious.

Rituals for the good of the state had to be carried out exactly and, at certain times, offerings were made to the deities. If these offerings/ceremonies were not performed correctly, there was a belief that the gods would withhold their favor from the Romans.
