"Unitology is a religion and an antagonist faction in the Dead Space universe, officially founded on the discoveries of Michael Altman. Unitologists adamantly believe that the human race was created by the intelligent design of a divine alien agency, and will be reunified after death in Heaven through the power of a sacred artifact known as the Marker. The promise of the Church of Unitology is one of \"transformation and rebirth\". This scriptural message is poetic, elusive and unscientific despite their claimed origins in a secret research project, and embodies the abandonment of reason for the profession of unwavering faith in the promise of the Marker. Much of the detail about the Church's inner workings remains undisclosed to outsiders and most adherents. Michael Altman, known as a \"reluctant prophet,\" was not a believer in Unitology, nor did he found the religion. Michael was the only scientist at the Chicxulub crater who was \"immune\", or possibly had a stronger resistance to the Markers' dead loved ones messages. He was able to acknowledge that the hallucinations were not real and was never fully driven to suicide or madness like others around him. Because of his resistance, the people being manipulated by illusions of departed friends and family saw him as the one the Marker speaks to, the prophet. Michael refused to believe in such nonsense, and after repeated attempts to sabotage the project, was murdered. His image was used to posthumously promote the Unitology message until the history books stated that he was indeed the great founder."@en . .
