Altman Be Praised.

Unitology is a religion in the Dead Space universe, officially founded on the discoveries of Michael Altman.[5]
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".[5] 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.[7] Much of the detail about the Church's inner workings remains undisclosed to outsiders and most adherents.[5]

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, just like Isaac. He was able to always acknowledge that the hallucinations were not real and was never fully driven to suicide or madness like all the others. Because of his resistance, the people being manipulated by their dead 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.

The alien Black Marker occupies a place of absolute centrality to Unitology doctrine and symbolism, in the same manner as the Christian Cross.Markers, artifacts of unknown origin and purpose. Oddly, many scientists, even Altman himself, have little idea of the Marker's true purpose and origin. The meaning of the inscriptions about the Marker had puzzled Unitologists for years. Unitologists believe that the inscriptions on the marker are a message that will reveal the true origin and meaning of human life. They believe the Marker contains a code that will be the key to eternal life and bring about a physically real paradise that will save mankind from its destructive materialistic course.

Everything about the Church is modeled in the image of the Marker and the symbols adorning it. Intertwining shapes and circles in accord with the Marker and its promise of unity are used to create a rich environment in Unitology worship spaces.
