Ok so ive read this a thousand times in other forums and discussion pages, but the time for scoffing at others mainterprations is over so ill stop being a conceited fool about it and set the record straight/see what you guys think.

We KNOW absolutely for fact that the emperor was born before or at least in a time when Persia was still a major power, as the gift he gave horus was a pesian relic crafted a year before he "said" he came into existence, although it may have been much Longer ago.We KNOW that he was one of if not the head of emperor diocletian of rome's soldiers at the time he "slew" the void dragon in libya back on Earth/Terra. Considering the fact that he singlehandedly disposed of the blood dragon on mars almost 900 years before humanity was even able to get their feet off the ground, believeing that he was the creator and heart of every major religion on earth is not too far-fetched an idea. In addition to his defeat of it, he took it to mars knowing that one day,(which took 20,000 years btw) mankind would start a civilization here and the errant dreams of the blood dragon would spur that society onto create machines the likes that had never been seen by humanity before with the industrial scale and ingenuity be the forges for his great crusade. the farsightedness of this gesture shows just how heavily invested in the "long view he was" just as his twin sons alpharious omegon were after him. To attempt to break down which major religions the emperor likely started is a futile gesture, as every single religion that you could claim to at one point in history was considered to be a major one all resemble an aspect of the emperor's personality and principles with maybe a few exceptions. This counts doubly so if you consider the metamorphosis of religions over time and consider the core of what they were at base upon their creation. Brutal, callous, but unifying and functional. He created these with the foresight and wisdom he has always shown in regards to the survival of mankind by any means necessary. All his history that we know and the insight of his closest servants, (which are ALWAYS normal humans, i.e. Malcodor the Sigilite and Dalia Cythera) those blessed by the physchicly given understanding and sense of true unfettered purpose, shows that the emperor does not cajole or manipulate dishonorably with false-hoods, but steers humanity along the razor edge path of survival between stagnancy and utter annihilation in order to combat the true enemy of humanity that he was born with the sole purpose to defeat, this being chaos, or the primordial annihilator. Considering all this, it isn't difficult to come to the conclusion that there is not a single religion on earth that he didn't creat, but now that faith and prayer were the tools of and conduits to chaos prior to the great crusade and were unneeded for the future survival of mankind, he set out to undo all that he had created in religion in order to unfetter humanity and slowly but inexorably push back the influence of chaos. As always, what he felt about something had no reflection on what he did as he always was and "is" driven with only the singular purpose of preserving humanity against the dark corrupting powers of chaos.
