Children of Atom (Fallout 3)

The Children of Atom  or Church of the Children of Atom is a group in the Capital Wasteland dedicated to the worship of Atom.

Background
The Children of Atom operate out of Megaton, a city built around an undetonated atomic bomb. The inhabitants of Megaton agreed not to move the bomb during its construction as they needed help from the Children of Atom to build the settlement. They are led by Confessor Cromwell and Mother Maya who still reside in Megaton.

Members of the Children of Atom believe that the Great War was a holy event perpetrated by Atom. They believe that those who died during the war were fortunate, having been allowed to "aid in the process of Atom's creation," and hope to do the same. They refer to irradiated water as being "full of Atom's Light" and consider it a blessing and a gift from Atom.

Cromwell sent two members of the church, Tektus and Martin north of the Capital Wasteland, and Tektus refers to him as "Atom's great prophet." Another group of Children of Atom members followed Mother Curie III to establish the Apostles of the Eternal Light including the Novice and Brother Gerard.
