Church of the Broken God

Symbol:

Membership:

The Church of the broken god is a cult run by a race of people infected by SCP-217 called the Mekhantos. It is a worldwide religious cult that believes in the superiority of machines and the weakness of natural flesh and blood. They are one of the first main enemies of the SCP Foundation, although there have been times in which the two groups have collaborated when dealing with mutual threats.

The "Broken God" the cult worships is Mekhane, the central figure in their religion of "Mekhanism".

History:
Possible Origins:

While the origins of the church and the religion practiced within are unknown, evidence of its existence has been found dating back to the ancient times and were known back then as the Mekhanites.

SCP-2217

According to their mythology the religion and civilization was formed by a young boy and his family after they encountered Mekhane in her workshop where they were blessed with knowledge given to them by the benevolent god and decided to bring more followers in order to help her break the Flesh. This civilization became a powerful empire with a highly centralized theocratic state, and continually produced various metallic products which were seen as highly religious in nature. They often traded with other states such as Egypt, Assyria, Canaan and Daevon, although they often held a low opinion about the Mekhanites.

SCP-001 (ROUNDERHOUSE's Gold Proposal)

Following the battle between Mekhane, Yaldabaoth, the Scarlet King and the Black Moon, all of the gods fell down to Earth, with Mekhane plunging into the sands of the middle east while her pieces scattered throughout the planet. There she was discovered by a poor disabled shepherd Bumaro and his blind wife, and seeing their current state Mekhane decided to transform the couple and their farm animals into cyborgs, giving them power and removing their disabilities. After Mekhane gave Bumaro metal parts of her fist which he used to forge into an armor, he brought his entire village to Mekhane and she proceeded to turn all of the disabled villagers into cyborgs just like Bumaro and his wife, causing them to worship Mekhane as their goddess. After Mekhane sunk below the ground, the villagers decided to use the goddess' gift, the golden metal they named Fuladh, to create a massive city-state above Mekhane's grave, named Amoni-Ram which would act as the center of the Mekhanite Empire led by Emperor Bumaro and his descendants.
