Callum, one thing you missed out was that in 40k we don't just worship gods that already exist. We MAKE them exist. & to the rest of you, well I think that the Emperor meant for humanity to become atheist to the point where the Chaos gods couldn't exist. Of course, that wouldn't be entirely possible unless there was no sentient life, but their power could be removed to the point where they could no longer affect the material universe, & the Emperor probably knew that. When he lay dying though, he knew that would be impossible, so he interred himself in the Golden Throne to fight the Chaos Gods in the Immaterium. All I know is that a lot of the problems caused in 40k have been to with dieties of one sort or another, & religion.
