The Cult of the Redemption is one of the few signs that Warhammer 40,000 still accepts that it has an understanding of the phrase "excessive", as the Cult of the Redemption is considered an extremist branch of the Imperial Cult. Formed on Necromunda, the Redemptionists took a good look at the Hive they were living in and came to a rational decision for the first time in millennia: they realized that this place was Hell. Unfortunately, they stopped thinking clearly after that, as they soon decided that humanity was inherently evil (which is open for debate) and could only find redemption in the eyes of the God-Emperor by killing all his enemies. In other words, psykers, mutants, and heretics (which is anyone who decides to work against the Cult or its members). On Necromunda, they ended up finding a home in House Cawdor, where it became the official religion of the noble House.
Though originally confined to Necromunda, the Redemption Cult soon spread across the Imperium of Man thanks to members of the Ecclesiarchy. Commissar Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, noted in the novel The Traitor's Hand that there was a Redemptionist preacher on Adumbria, and believed his old Schola Progenium classmate Tomas Beije was a member of the Cult. The Ecclesiarchy has occasionally tried to use Redemptionist Zealots as a means to get around the Decree Passive preventing them from having "men under arms" and limiting their military forces to the Sisters of Battle (Emperor's blood, now even the Ecclesiarchy doesn't want the Nuns with Guns). In the novel Legion of the Damned, a group of Ecclesiarchs end up getting into a pissing match with the Excoriators over authority long enough for the Marines to get bored and BLAM several Redemptionist militants.
