The militant arm of the Children is composed of zealots, sworn to defend the faith and guard its followers and their shrines. Zealots are typically former mercenaries or raiders who converted to the faith and operate under the command of a grand zealot. The grand zealot typically designates a deputy, tasked with ensuring the fitness of other zealots.

The Children of Atom attach little importance to worldly possessions and so they care little for the quality of their equipment. They tend to dress in rags decorated with electrical wiring and salvaged metal items representing the atom's nucleus. For protection, they employ simple guns or makeshift Gamma guns, relying on the strength of their faith and intensity of local radiation for protection.

The children of Atom are Mainly Humans although a few are ghouls. Children of Atom can have any Alignment.
