What I was talking about was the imperium specifically  and how what is wrong in the imperium could be traced back to religion.

The Horus Heresy was caused by religion, the emperior didn't like religion because of all the problems that it had caused back on terra, ie. middle ages, stuff that is hapening right now because of religious intollerance and hatered which fed the dark gods adn which hi why he wanted to make the imperium nonreligious.

and because of that he cahstized Logar and his legion which is kinda the event that led to the Horus Heresy and the emperor going on the golden throne which resulted in the low degradation of the imperium.

In short if the emperior was still alive the imperium would be a wuch better place.
