The Emperor is a god now, he wasn't before the heresy but was a lot closer to it than he would admit even to himself (he loathed religion after all). 10,000 years of gathering the souls of trillions of worshippers he has definitely risen to godhood, the only thing holding him from the warp is the golden throne - which is failing. There is only so much power even a perpetuals body can hold and I believe The Emperor surpassed that point long ago. After all it was shown in Unremembered Empire that even perpetuals can be destroyed, it's just very, very hard to do.
