Tech-priests consider organic flesh weak and imperfect, so they strive to replace it with cybernetic implants for greater efficiency and closeness to the Machine God.

Knowledge, according to the Mechanicus cult, is the highest manifestation of divinity, and accordingly all creations and technologies embodying knowledge are sacred. The value of a person is determined only by his knowledge, his body is just an organic shell capable of preserving intelligence.
