I believe in one of the Eisenhorn books, a heretic learned that the reason why the Imperial Cult took over the Imperium was because, after the horrors of the Horus Heresy, some believed that promoting belief in the Emperor's Divinity was the only way to ensure stability across the ravaged Imperium. The idea that humanity had a powerful God as their sovereign gave people the hope and devotion to keep going and keep the Imperium together. Even Roboute Gulliman, as disdainful as he is towards the Ecclesiarchy, admits that tearing it down and telling everyone "my dad is not a god" would destroy the Imperium.

“How can we make this about us? 🤔😈” - Imperium

It‘s easy to forget just how vast the Imperium of Man is. We are still talking millions of worlds and they don‘t have any AI to manage the flow of information for them. So even if they wanted to keep every single letter of their creed in line (which wouldn‘t even be practical cause it means many more rebellions) they couldn‘t. Also in many ways the Imperium overall is very pragmatic. Sure there are zealots everywhere but the higher ups will usually take a world that sees the emperor as a big wolf in the woods but would 200% die for that wolf wholesale, over a world that somewhat believes the creed but would second guess an order to move all their men to a trench that‘s very crucial dfor the imperium overall

At this point they have in fact turned him into a god of chaos. Belief in 40k has a huge impact

I consider it kinda sad. In earlier editions it was widely known that imperial religion and culture weren't so widespread. Galaxy was full of miriad different traditions, customs and cultures that still were part of Credo. Ministorum did Missionaria Protectiva things from Dune to make sure everyone believed that the Emperor is god of humankind, but myriad variations bloomed. There were only three rules each world had to follow: venerate the God Emperor, pay your taxes (in men, resources and psykers), do not associate with enemies of Mankind). Beyond that you could have democratic planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Imperium really felt like an actual Roman Empire where you had Roman customs, Roman governance and Roman administration next to unique local variations of compliant, but different, people. Something like local government and federal government. Now all this magnificent variety just got crushed beneath great simplification that each imperial religion is Catholic Church in space and each imperial planet is the same Soviet regime in space.

i do love that the Tau are falling to this same thing. the more faith oriented aliens with psychic abilities join the the greater good the more powerful their "chaos god" becomes, they literally have no choice if they wish to proceed with spreading the greater good to accept the fact that chaos will consume their race just like everyone else. Seemingly Shadowsun will be something like the emperor chosen by their god already, and farsight like horus, though he seems to be resisting chaos so far, i cant see him winning that battle. Their only chance to avoid this is to become like the empire and destroy everyone who isnt Tau

That's probably not good for his sanity.

We don't care how you worship the Emperor! Only that you do!

Miral is where Lord Inquisitor Remleiz is from???

The Why Files, say otherwise.

Ol Lorgar won this one.

Strangely enough this is kinda how real life religion was spread back in early......"conversion" The Holy Roman Empire couldn't go converting thousands of people after executing a few thousands without trying to ad hoc relate their "pagan" gods to THE "god" without somehow mixing them together.

The raptor skull faced inquisitor artwork does not belong to you and I sincerely hope you got permission to use it.

This is also the part of the story where someone else rolls along and immediately annihilates the population of said planet for heretical idol worship. Even with a hearts and minds campaign on par with the ancient Romans or Egyptians, the bulk of the more fervent imperium still regard idol worship with extreme callousness. Imagine you are greeted by winged angels in suits of armor so big they tower over your mightiest warriors, they tell you your god is an extension of the god emperor and it is ok to worship that effigy, only for your people a couple thousand years later to be visited by a man or woman wearing black clothes with an symbol of an Inquisitor to say "You're all heretics; you will be purged."

IIRC the Roman empire before Christianity did stuff like that. They'd conquer a group and then intergrate their faith as different representations of gods in the Roman pantheon.

Gaslighting on a universal level

The very start, just no. The Imperium didn't slowly accept anything. It was a civil war that let the Imperial Creed replace the Imperial truth and empower the Eccliasarchy.
