	*'''Space Marine Chapter Cults:''' Most Space Marine Chapters reject the Imperial Cult ''(often with with extreme prejudice and gratuitous violence)'' and do not consider the Emperor to be a God, holding instead to local forms of the Imperial Truth doctrine. The Emperor is their father and creator, and told them with his own words that there are no gods, so it must be so; any Ecclesiarch who thinks otherwise can eat a powerfist sacrament. Thus they are not actually compatible with the Imperial Creed, though individual Chapters occasionally have "He wasn't a god then but is now." as a compromise. In the process of seeking candidates, Chaplains frequently spread a crude veneration of the Emperor as a powerful fatherly figure for humanity among the primitives of their chapter homeworlds. However in the very rare cases of chapters based on developed Imperial worlds, they must begrudgingly tolerate the Ecclesiarchy's presence and break their inductees of its indoctrination.		*'''Space Marine Chapter Cults:''' Most Space Marine Chapters reject the Imperial Cult ''(often with with extreme prejudice and gratuitous violence)'' and do not consider the Emperor to be a God, holding instead to local forms of the Imperial Truth doctrine.

	*'''Imperial Savior Cults:''' Also called '''Hero Cults''', these are cults formed around people who have saved planets from disaster or destruction. The followers mainly perform rituals that mirror their idols actions and burn (accused) heretics, mutants, and witches as all good Imperial Cult sects do. Obviously the Inquisition and other authorities keep suspicious tabs on such cults to ensure they don't stray too far from accepted doctrines.		*'''Imperial Savior Cults:''' Also called '''Hero Cults''', these are cults formed around people who have saved planets from disaster or destruction.

Guard chaplains routinely extol him as the ideal the Imperial soldier: selfless, loyal, and unflinching in his service to the Emperor.		**'''The Cult of [[Ollanius Pius]]:''' Without a doubt the largest hero cult throughout the Imperium.

The Imperial Creed

	# Worship the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]] as the One-True-God, your Lord and Savior.		# Worship the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]] as the One-True-God, your Lord and Savior.
	# [[Humanity Fuck Yeah\|Humanity is perfect]] and are the dominant form of life in the galaxy, [[Chaos\|everything]] [[Eldar\|else]] [[Orks\|needs]] [[Tyranids\|to be crushed]] [[Tau\|or subjugated.]]		# [[Humanity Fuck Yeah\|Humanity is perfect]] and are the dominant form of life in the galaxy, [[Chaos\|everything]] [[Eldar\|else]] [[Orks\|needs]] [[Tyranids\|to be crushed]] [[Tau\|or subjugated.]]
			# It is the duty of all Humans to obey members of the Imperial Government and their superiors.

	So at its simplest, a world can believe whatever it likes, so long as the Emperor is God or at the very least the head God, so on some worlds he might be a god of [[Thunder Warriors\|thunder]] and [[Psyker\|lightning]], on others he might be the judge of the dead, on others he might just be an almighty paymaster, whilst on others he might be seen as a god of destruction who must be [[Death Cult Assassin\|appeased with death]]... essentially each planet can have its own view of the Emperor. This makes the Imperial Cult an extremely tolerant religion when it comes to expressions of faith, which is ironically [[skub\|at odds]] with most observers' opinions on what the Imperial Creed is actually about. In addition, the Imperium is so vast and its history so expansive that just about any belief can be matched with something that already exists within the Imperium. Protector god? Space Marines. God of plenty? Agricultural world. God of fire? Salamanders. God of frost? Some world close to its star. God of light? World with weak atmosphere where they live underground. God of machines? Adeptus Mechanicus. The big guy who the plebs think is a god? Adeptus Custodes. And so on. On top of that, the Imperial Cult is perfectly willing to spend centuries or even millennia very slowly shifting a new world’s beliefs to fit closely enough to be accepted.
