There's no explanation that won't be disappointing so its better not to even think of it.
>wanted to obliterate religion galaxy wide to starve chaos
Failed and therefore a jobber
>intentionally created the imperium as a terror state that barely holds the line and will one day collapse into 40k end times/ 40k AoS
this is awful
>intentionally created the primarchs to become daemon princes so he could redeem them later as a weapon against chaos or something
retarded
>wanted to become a worshipped as a god all along and orchestrated things so that worshipping him would become the dominant religion in the galaxy
eww
>its just dune because at least 40% of 40ks DNA is just a dune rip off. so basically he read the future and there was one extremely convoluted path of suffering that lead to humans not going extinct
I mean yea probably this
>the emperor was just a really high charisma and high powered psyker whos special power was getting people to worship and love him even if it didnt make sense and beyond that he was simply just a slightly above average autistic guy with superpowers
best case scenario but still is a disappointing reality behind the settings myth
