Imperial Truth
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Imperial Truth was a doctrine preached by the Imperium of Man during the years of the Great Crusade.
Overview
The contents of this belief involved the removal of religion, faith and superstition that plagued numerous Human worlds that had been recontacted by Terra. Instead, the Imperial Truth was offered by Iterators that provided the cold clarity of logic and science to the masses.1
The Imperial Truth began to disintegrate due to the Horus Heresy and encounters with the Dark Powers of the Warp. Many either turned Traitor as a result or embraced the growing Lectitio Divinitatus which proclaimed that the Emperor was a god. 2
