Abstract
The universe of Warhammer 40,000 fosters one of the most draconian forms of humanity in all of fiction. This zealously religious Imperium of Mankind is defined by xenophobia and hatred, with all of its planets exporting millions of men, women, and children to sustain the countless war efforts across its myriad battlefields. The ruler of this Imperium is the titular God-Emperor of Mankind, one venerated by every single loyal Imperial citizen; anything less is met with death or worse. This religion-obsessed faction has its roots in the exact opposite, in the aspirations of a truly superhuman individual who despised religion and superstition above all else and endeavored to cut humanity off from it. Yet, the very nature of this individual, as well as the influence of larger forces in the galaxy, would lead his life’s work to a dark perversion of his original intentions. This paper will examine how the secular intentions turned into religious zealotry in Warhammer 40,000 novels and stories with the help of Nietzsche’s philosophical texts and contemporary understandings of authoritarian and totalitarian states.
