Don't forget that the warp is shaped by belief...if trillions of people think that the emperor is god, then he is. He can "bestow" powers on living saints (resurrection, flight etc.) just like how the chaos gods can give their champions power. If people think that he can protect the souls of faithful when they die, it can happen, in fact, in the space wolves omnibus ragnar blackmane mentions about seeing millions of souls orbiting the astronomican.
