This reminds of this post on a different website. This is a basic explanation of sorts about the Imperial Creed from Warhammer 40,000. For those who are deeply religious and don't wish to be offended, you have been warned!
The future of Mankind is the stars. Its unity throughout the skies, to see the wonders of the universe laid out before us. There is something special in all of us: The spark of life and joy and happiness. The human soul, pure and incorruptible. Its spirit burns brighter than a billion torches in the dark, banishing the shadows of defeatism and gloom.
Christ tells you that you are sinful beyond redemption through no fault of your own.
There are some I know, that these words will not be enough. For fear and doubt still lie heavy on their hearts and souls. So this I say to you:

Never listen to those who tell you that life is suffering and existence is meaningless. That way madness and decay lies.
I tell you this, brothers and sisters, a message that needs telling more now than ever. It is a simple message that should be heard in every corner of the globe, echoing from the highest mountain to the deepest ocean.
We are Humanity.
We have Purpose.
We are family, all of us.
Forget our petty wars and divisions, for the greater struggle lies out there, against a universe that has recognized our greatness and in its fear seeks to lead us astray to destroy ourselves.
We can be united, The Emperor has shown us the way forward.
Free from the lies of false prophets, the jealous falsehoods of dying gods, united in the great mission that lies ahead.
Christ tells you that you are sinful beyond redemption through no fault of your own.
The Emperor tells you to be proud.
You are human, perfect in form, perfect in mind.
Nothing on the face of the world compares to you.
Your love, your joy, your anger, and yes even your hate, is to be human.
It is to be true to your nature.
Christ offers you shame. The Emperor offers you pride in who you are.
Allah expects mere obedience, yet what does he offer in return?
Nothing, except sparing us his lash as long as we continue our obeisance.
The Emperor asks for your loyalty, but only in his cause - that of all Mankind - to build a better future.
For that future he gave everything.
What has Allah sacrificed?
What of the Hindu and Buddhists?
They tell us the world is suffering.
That to abandon hope and desire is the best a man can achieve.
Lies. Every word.
These established religions tell you that you are weak and sinful and shameful.
The Emperor tells you that you are blessed and holy and powerful.
Look at the wonders of Mankind, how together we can create miracles.
Join together in brotherhood and unity instead of division.
Join together with strength and honor in our Humanity instead of shame.
Look to the heavens, and the light of a million stars.
This is our destiny.
To come together and walk amongst the stars.
And to tame them.
And there shall be no fear, for The Emperor protects.
There are some I know, that these words will not be enough. For fear and doubt still lie heavy on their hearts and souls. So this I say to you:
The Emperor watches over all of us. He is with us every moment. His strength is our strength. Guarding us. Protecting us whilst we do his divine work. Death, when it comes, has no power over the servants of The Emperor, and when we die we shall sit in vigil at his side, watching over a better world we helped create.
What more could a man ask?
Let me tell you of my dreams, brothers and sisters.
I dream of a terrible eye The home of that most greatest evil, and I smile.
"Why?" You might ask.
Because in that all-consuming darkness I see a star. A star brighter than any other. It grows, and as it grows the darkness fades.
And the star calls out.
And I see them.
First the angels, the souls of His faithful, all marching in unison.
With every step they take, the daemonic cry out in agony.
And then I see his armies, the bodies of Mankind.
And then I see the dark gods themselves.
And they are afraid.
Remember what The Emperor has taught us.
We are Humanity, and nothing can hope to stop us.
