It could be construed that the Emperor is a nascent Chaos god locked in a mortal shell. The Big 4 feed on souls, Emps (or the Astronomicon through him) is fed 1000 psykers a day. The Big 4 have daemon princes, Emps has Living Saints, which are essentially human daemons. Chaos worshipers are particularly fervent in their worship, whereas it doesn't get much more rabid than the Ecchlesiarchy. The Emperor also has an enormous presence in the Warp, to the point that daemons cannot interfere dirrectly on Holy Terra because thet can't warp in.
