What do you think this poem is about?

Religion Formation

Each founder of a religion or sect
Was particular about recruiting
Followers and then cordoning them,
With least concern for the heaven assured..

His mission was to expand his region.
His vision was to establish his rule.
He coaxed the rulers and fought out the rivals.
His heirs carried down him for their profits..
