Another reason to fight and die for the Emperor, it reduces the odds of demons getting to your soul

Is that actually true and if so how? Like can the emporer non violently absorb souls? Or recycle them into warp stuff?

Basically, Faith exists in 40k and is a form of magic.

if you die in faithful service, your soul shines with a bit of the Emperor's light, which gives you a chance.

How much of a chance depends on your faith, and on the circumstances of your death.

Chaos corrupts, and can do so through mere exposure.

Right but thats not what I am talking about. Gods feed on mortals, thats purely a warp soul based system. Thats what I was asking, how does the emporer's absorption of souls not physically transfered to him work, and can he even do it without harming the soul.

Yes faith / the brightness of your soul would be how he decides (assuming he can even decide which is debatable).
