If that were so, then god would be evil. There's nothing to support that.

Apparently you're not familiar with what's written about the ordaining of kings within The Bible, and how Israel wanted a flesh king they could see, instead of allowing God to be their only King. God told them what having a flesh king over them would cause. The lesson? There can only be one True King that is Righteous and Pefect, our Lord Jesus Christ. It shows we need Him only. But in the mean time during this present world, God has setup flesh kings over His people like they asked. Some have been oppressors, some have been more just, and many of them, like King James, have defended the Christian Faith. Strange that you would see that as an evil working, since it is from God's hand. I'm an American, but I recognize God's ordaining of kings and queens when it fits the Biblical order.
The secret societies in Europe, especially in the 17th and later centuries, were persecuted by the Church and by monarchs because of groups like Weishaupt's Illuminati order whose secret papers were discovered with a plan to overthrow... all governments, monarchs and the Church. If that hatred against monarchs and the Church continues today, it's because of the subversive ideas those like Weishaupt planted in European Masonry in the 1700's.
