The Imperial Truth

The Emperor's atheistic creed of science and reason.

The Imperial Truth is the atheistic worldview declared by the Emperor, promoting science, rationalism and human primacy. United under the Imperium, humanity is to be protected by it from the Chaos-related dangers of its growing psychic abilities.

Lore & Background

Several books follow a forbidden religious cult whose members, though loyal to the Emperor and the Imperium, defy the Imperial Truth, and the Word Bearers become heretics against it decades before the rebellion by introducing religious worship.
