Children of Atom (Megaton)





Children of Atom is a local cult from Megaton that worships an unexploded bomb around which the town was built. Their leader is Confessor Cromwell who can usually be found preaching in front of the bomb outside the church. Confessor Cromwell will accept Church Donations. Confessor Cromwell is married to Mother Maya, another believer.

The Church of the Children of Atom believes that each atomic mass contains an entire universe, and that when an atomic mass is split many universes are created. Therefore, instead of seeing the Great War as destructive the Church of the Children of Atom believes it was a creative and unifying holy event. This could suggest they would desire the atomic bomb to blow up and send them on their destiny, rather than have it disarmed. However, despite this wish, blowing up the bomb still results in negative karma (see The Power of the Atom).

The Children of the Atom seem to have existed as far back as Megaton's construction, as Manya mentions that they were instrumental in getting the town built.
