They don't know that though. Only the top escalon "The Sages" and "The Pope" are aware of who actually controls the Church.

"The Pope" is actually Gilles Lila Ruberius, who is a vampire himself, his Unique Skill Hierophant allows him to dominate those who come to him for protection and salvation. Meaning that its perfect to create a false church. The true holy kingdom is below the fake, and its a hidden kingdom of vampires. The surface is just a fascade create the protect and use the humans to fight on Ruminas behalf unknownly.

Basically, Ruminas' use of the church is to manipulate the humans there to serve her and fight her enemies, who are usually monsters and angels. So the doctrine of the church is to attack monsters unquestionly, which means they attack Ruminas' enemies unrequitedly as a result.

Ruminas probably does this to better shield her kingdom, since her previous one was destroyed by Veldora so many years ago. She learned her lesson and create a fake kingdom on the surface and a hidden one underground.
