Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we have Chaos cults undermining the Imperium from within ANYWAY? The Emperor's original concept was mistaken; there was no way his Crusade could have resulted in anything but a coercive state. The atheistical Imperium Emps envisioned would have had no more success imposing uniformity than the theocractic Imperium we all know and love. So chaos cults galore anyway you cut it. Utopia is unobtainable (that's why it's called 'utopia' Greek for 'nowhere'). Entropy always wins. Chaos can be kept within bounds but it can't be eliminated. A certain amount of mess and unpleasantness is inevitable and perhaps necessary; 'The old order changeth and passes away and God fulfils himself in many ways lest one good custom should corrupt the world'.
