Editing Cult of the Redemption

The '''Cult of the Redemption''' is one of the few signs that [[Warhammer 40,000]] still accepts that it has an understanding of the phrase "excessive", as the Cult of the Redemption is considered an extremist branch of the [[Imperial Cult]]. Formed on [[Necromunda]], the Redemptionists took a good look at the [[Hive]] they were living in and came to a rational decision for the first time in millennia: they realized that this place was ''Hell''. Unfortunately, they stopped thinking clearly after that, as they soon decided that humanity was inherently evil (which is [[Humanity Fuck Yeah|open for debate]]) and could only find redemption in the eyes of the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|God-Emperor]] by killing all his enemies. In other words, [[psyker]]s, [[mutant]]s, and [[heretic]]s (which is anyone who decides to work against the Cult or its members). On Necromunda, they ended up finding a home in House Cawdor, where it became the official religion of the noble House.

Though originally confined to Necromunda, the Redemption Cult soon spread across the [[Imperium of Man]] thanks to members of the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM''', noted in the novel ''The Traitor's Hand'' that there was a Redemptionist preacher on Adumbria, and believed his old [[Schola Progenium]] classmate Tomas Beije was a member of the Cult. The Ecclesiarchy has occasionally tried to use Redemptionist Zealots as a means to get around the Decree Passive preventing them from having "men under arms" and limiting their military forces to the [[Sisters of Battle]] (Emperor's blood, now even the Ecclesiarchy doesn't want the Nuns with Guns). In the novel ''Legion of the Damned'', a group of Ecclesiarchs end up getting into a pissing match with the [[Excoriators]] over authority long enough for the Marines to get bored and BLAM several Redemptionist militants.
