The Church of the Children of Atom is a religious movement that worships a deity known as Atom. They also revere radiation, which they call "His Glow". They originated from the town of Megaton in the Capital Wasteland, and in the decade since the Battle of Project Purity, the religion has expanded to all over the Commonwealth, settling in places ranging from the Crater of Atom in the Glowing Sea, all the way up to the Nucleus on the Island. The Children have sent preachers to various areas outside the Glowing Sea,[1] although the outcome of these expeditions are not always peaceful, as travelers who cross paths with the Church are often met with suspicion and hostility.

Children of Atom are hostile to the player, with the exception of those dwelling in the Crater of Atom in the Glowing Sea, the Nucleus, and Brother Henri inside the sentinel site, who can be aggravated into attacking through certain dialogue options.
One may encounter Children of Atom fighting a group of three high-ranking Gunners as part of a random encounter, such as at the church in Hyde Park or a derelict building just north of College Square.
Notes
Even if the Sole Survivor is a member of the Children of Atom, they will still be hostile to the player in the Commonwealth.
