Legionare22 The Emperor was already worshipped by several worlds, most notably that of Lorgar, and others misused the faith in The Emperor for their own power and gain, He wanted to put a stop to that. But a scenario where The Emperor wanted, and was worshipped as god could have been extremely successful in keeping Chaos at bay. Exelent Idea Legionare.

Yes, but the Chaos cults are everywhere because there is no leader capable enought to effectively rule millions of worlds and trillions of subjects. The council of the High Lords of Terra are nowhere near as capable as The Emperor was, all they have done is keep the Imperium from falling apart, not an easy task mind you. And i never used the term `utopia`, i meant the bare minimum amount of crime that an empire of a million worlds could have, should all the hate and suffering be lessened to a certain degree, impossible to eliminate sadly, then the Chaos gods would have lost too much power to directly influence Mankind, as they do now.

Here is a scenario. The Great Crusade is a success. None of the Primarchs turned to Chaos, and were as He wanted. Most xenos species are eliminated, and humanity is dominant in the Galaxy. The Chaos gods have lost the majority of their powers, but can still influence Mankind. What could be needed to stop that? A shield, or the complete decomposition of the ,now chaos entities, by a someone powerful enought. What if The Emperor wanted to weaken the Chaos gods so drastically, to the point where He could overpower them Himself. I would not place the destruction of a `God` beyond a being like The Emperor. If He wanted, he could have probably waged an all out war on Chaos itself in the Warp, the Chaos gods were simply too strong to be completely removed.
