One of the most famous examples of sloth is [[Pontius Pilate]]'s 'washing his hands' of [[Jesus]]' case and allowing Him to be put to death, when it was in his power to free Him. More generally, inactive rulers may be considered slothful: [[Dante]]'s [[Purgatorio]] has a whole section devoted to rulers such as [[Henry III]] who did little wrong, but did not use their power to advance the cause of good.

Atheistic societies have tended to have higher rates of sloth and as a result have suffered economic problems (see: [[Atheism and sloth]]).
