The Imperial Truth was a doctrine preached by the Imperium of Man during the years of the Great Crusade.

帝国真理是人类帝国在大远征期间宣扬的一种教义。

Overview 概述

The contents of this belief involved the removal of religion, faith, and superstition that plagued numerous human worlds that had been recontacted by Terra. Instead, the Imperial Truth was offered by Iterators that provided the cold clarity of logic and science to the masses. Other key aspects of the Imperial Truth was the manifest destiny of mankind to rule the stars, the exceptionalism of humanity, and the danger posed by all xenos. As part of his campaign to spread the Imperial truth, the Emperor's Thunder Warriors destroyed all churches on Terra, believing it to be necessary to have humanity accept science and reason over superstition and barbarism. In truth, the Emperor sought to wipe out superstition and religion as they were easy doors from which the powers of Chaos entered the minds of men.

这种信念的内容涉及消除宗教、信仰和迷信，这些信仰和迷信困扰着泰拉重新接触的众多人类世界。相反，帝国真理是由宣道者提供的，它为大众提供了冷酷的逻辑和科学清晰度。帝国真理的其他关键方面是人类统治星辰的天命、人类例外主义以及所有异型带来的危险。作为传播帝国真理运动的一部分，帝皇的雷霆战士摧毁了泰拉上的所有教堂，认为有必要让人类接受科学和理性，而不是迷信和野蛮。事实上，帝皇试图消灭迷信和宗教，因为它们是混沌力量进入人们思想的方便之门。

The Imperial Truth began to disintegrate due to the Horus Heresy and encounters with the Dark Powers of the Warp. Many either turned traitor as a result or embraced the growing Lectitio Divinitatus, which proclaimed that the Emperor was a god.

由于荷鲁斯叛乱和与亚空间黑暗势力的遭遇，帝国真理开始瓦解。许多人要么因此成为叛徒，要么接受了日益壮大的“神性论”，宣称帝皇是神。
