The Masters of the world once again [See the emphasis, "once again" indicating this is not the first or last time it happened or will happen] realize that conventional classical religion, although still has the essence and served the purpose well, will not be good enough to keep the herd in lines in an increasingly self aware, intelligent, more evolved human of its time and the time coming. They foresaw the problem and redesigned the control machinery with a new twist. No wonder why the same source in Italy/Rome and later Europe (esp. Khazars or Caucasus) gave birth to Renaissance, Commercial Science, Roman Religion, Financial instruments, Nationalism, Politics, Mafia etc.. No matter what you do, you will fit into one of those paradigm or at the very least you will need money [which is the bottom line and infallible tool for mass control], so these instruments can be used to control you and your service can be extracted for the Master's purpose. Is that all? Is Power everything? Is comfort or self gratification everything? I don't think the Masters aren't evolved enough to be consumed by theses earthly possessions or needs. After all, the Masters already mastered the alchemical secrets to be a Master and they are too smart to be consumed by those mundane affairs. So why they need power and a centralized administration? Are they planning to undertake some gigantic steps in future, that will need so much resources that the only way to achieve those is to have one single central ruling order? Do they think the steps they are planning to undertake have some eternal [ or for lack of a better term, Divine] purpose? How can they be sure, what they are doing or planning to do, is the best thing for the rest of the herd? What is that purpose and Why?
