		Hobbes' leviathan state is infinitely authoritative in matters pertaining to aggression, one man waging war on another, or any matters pertaining to the cohesiveness of the state.
		Leviathan was written during the English Civil war and much of the book is occupied with demonstrating the necessity of a strong central authority to avoid the evil of discord and civil war.
		In Leviathan Hobbes explicitly states that the sovereign has authority to assert power over matters of faith and doctrine, and that not to do so is a recipe for discord.
