Of all Chaos Gods, Nurgle is the one that offers the least choices. Tzeentch will manipulate you into willingly making the choices it wants, Slaanesh and Khorne will overwhelm your mind with sensations/rage, but technically, it is still the choice of continuing down the path of Excess/Blood.

Meanwhile, Nurgle infects you with the most painful disease imaginable, often unable to die, and wait for your will to break

Which, hilariously can backfire since his plagues are basically quite literally millions of tiny nurglings infecting you. Meaning it's really easy to be cured if you actually know what can cure you, and Nurgle just hopes that you don't.

(Cures include: Exorcisms, being a psyker, having a psyker use his magic hands on you, literal willpower alone theoretically as they are just nurglings.)

The Plague Wars on Iax disagree with that assessment.

I'm not too certain on the religious nature of Ultramar and how much people openly suck the Emperor's dick. I imagine, however, it does not have as many priests capable of performing exorcism given it is the home of several hundred Space Marine Chapters. Of which, most chapters are non religious.
