It's not very kind to pure pragmatists, either, eventually (what goes around comes around, etc.-- the Sani are as purely pragmatic as they come, and THEIR civilizations tend to go to bits in a handful of generations at best. See, e.g., the Takmahl).
Read my award-winning History of the Takmahl Empire.

y'all have souls now, officially, that are of course, in danger of being Eternally Condemned for your Lifetime of Sin.
So, why not repent your sins and embrace the One True Faith ?

If anything can be said of the Rite of Shathol'Syn, it is that it has the potential to wipe the slate clean.
So Khanid was countering Sarum by refusing to undergo the rite two hundred years before she did go through with the ritual suicide? You sure you wanna hang your hat on that one?
Well, you know. Planning for the long term is quite important in Amarr culture.

Well, Jason, you see, it's about self-doubt and things of that nature.
For a long time, capsuleers of the Amarr religion have had to struggle with the idea that they have no soul, that the soul they possessed prior to becoming a capsuleer has already reached the doors of Paradise, and been Judged as to whether they were worthy or not to enter.
There has always been the nagging thought that "Perhaps I've made a huge mistake, and condemned my soul", that whatever actions they had done prior to becoming a capsuleer were not worthy enough to enter Paradise.
Now, with the knowledge that they have a soul, that doubt can finally be put to rest.

I have plenty of self-doubt, as does anyone. However, more relevantly, I also doubt the ability of someone in a shiny bath robe to know more about me than I myself do.
Maybe your doctor wears a shiny bath robe ?

Maybe your doctor wears a shiny bath robe ? A doctor follows the scientific method and values objective verifiability in his diagnoses. A good doctor, anyway.
Yes, but, see, your doctor probably knows more about the functionality and health of e.g. your spleen, than you do. They have tests and diagrams and all that, for that kind of thing.
And if they also like shiny bath robes, then well, they'd be someone in a shiny bath robe that knows more about (part of) you than you do, no ?

Also, as a missionary, it means that I am not wasting my time, when attempting to share the Word with other capsuleers.

You are aware, that there are many, many Caldari who have willingly converted to the Imperial Faith ? right ?

The soul is a little bit different. Bit more.. personal, and holistic.
What about your psychoanalyst ? Maybe they like shiny robes too ?

One would think that the State and the Empire would become closer in the coming years, because:
The Caldari are traditionally quite business and trade orientated.
And in Empress Catiz 1, the Empire has an unprecedentedly business and trade orientated ruler.
I'm quite sure that the Caldari would be interested in obtaining greater access to a market consisting of some 40% of the entire human population.
And numerous Holders and wealthy commoners would similarly be interested in increasing their wealth, which would probably be more socially acceptable, with Empress Catiz 1 on the throne.
