They worship him becomes faith is the protection against daemons. Whether he likes it or not, the Emperor is a god with the trillions of humans worshipping him and giving him power, and these include the humans serving tau. In my opinion, he is actually as powerful as the chaos gods, because he existed even before slaanesh and people were actually worshipping him then. It is said that he has appeared as religious figures before he revealed himself, so people were worshiping him for as long as the chaos gods.
