So that's one angle.

You have the Blood Angles, Dark Angels and a few other marine character references from biblical inspired literature as well.

Then the whole aspect of the Emperor, who didn't believe in religion, being deified.

And the current development of various units in the game seem to point to the fact that, yes, the God-Emperor (it's not even a subtle reference) is still alive and psychically kicking and really, really powerful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/615569/7213026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/615569/7213026.page GMT Religon and 40k
