language history

finding a concept and putting it into a new surrounding. here it is merely an action against the more commen sense of order/belief (as in way of life, not actual relligeous belief).

sidenote: even for the astartes the emperor was some kind of superhuman entity and he was worshipped during the GC and before by the common people. he, himself and among the astartes (as we see in garro as a character and his serf) might not want that adoration, yet the common people are faced with superhumans and power on a scale that is incomprehensible for them, thus you get the religeous aspect.

i mean: how did religion start? by trying to make sense of forces that were beyond the control of humans.
