Here is what I think the average person knows: The God-Emperor is all-powerful, and all knowing. There are Nine Primarchs who are also considered gods or demigods and should be worshipped for their sacrifices for the Imperium. As for the full extent of the Horus Heresy and Chaos, need I remind anybody of the First War of Armeggedon? The average person knows that there were traitors, but beyond that I doubt they have any true understanding of the full extent of the situation. Only Space Marines, Inquisitors, and high ranking officials have any idea of the Horus Heresy, let alone that it was an actual event. Even the Imperial Guard is not allowed to know what happened.
