.Definition of Heresy: opinion or doctrine at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine, especially of a church or religious system. 2. the maintaining of such an opinion or doctrine. 3. Roman Catholic Church. the willful and persistent rejection of any article of faith by a baptized member of the church. 4. any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs, customs, etc. Let's take 4. into account here, the imperial worlds which did not believe the Imperial Truth were "strongly at variance with established beliefs" in the Human Imperium, so they called it "heresy" simply because heresy was used by the religious does not mean it specifically pretains to religion. Similar to how modern folk mix up old english with religion.
