Let’s be honest, because there are a lot of good arguments for that perspective.

In the face of scientific achievement, why would people waste their time on religious ideology? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to give up on all of that superstition so we can move on?

One of the big areas that I want to address now is the Imperium as a metaphor for the tyranny and backwards thinking of religion in general.Ĭonsidering the world we live in, it is very en vogue to dismissively point a finger at religion as a relic of a lesser, bygone age of human stupidity, and to look at those who still hold to a religious lifestyle as idiots. Often, I see people only really touch the low-hanging fruit-equivalent of critical ideas when it comes to analyzing the Imperium’s simulated human problems. It can be pulled apart from many different directions, and most of them have merit in some way or another. The Imperium of Man in 40K is a complex problem to figure out.
