Can I say both?

Machiavelli has at times been accused of being an atheist, or certainly of being critical of the church of his day. And he revered and read pagan authors such as Cicero and Livy. But he also had a reverence for what he thought the Christian religion could be, if applied to promoting civic virtue. So he was not a traditional or typical Christian for his time, but one who had reverence for virtues he saw in common between pagan and biblical authors.

In his book, Machiavelli's God (Princeton University Press, 2010, Antony Shugaar, translator), Maurizio Viroli argues that "republican liberty needs a religion that instills and supports devotion to the common good" and also that "Christian religion properly interpreted is apt to serve such a civic task." According to Viroli, Machiavelli believed the Roman Catholic Church had wrongly applied the principles of the Christian religion, taking authority to the church that belonged to the people and making the success of the earthly community seem at odds with hope in a heavenly community.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
