Its likely that these words are also used because of the fact that the whole style of writing is based on a dramatic, latin-derived formula. Nothing like religion to bring out the drama in the setting. I have even in current (like real world) times heard "heresy" used to describe strange science theories. It might also be some unintended leeching from the 40K setting into the writing of the 30K setting (HH)
