Heresy
Heard a zealot say something to the effect of "Blood for the Emperor, and Skulls for his throne."

This is enough in-game heresy to cause me in-real-life distress.

I found that pretty disturbing too. Wish I knew the lore behind the character that said it. Like, which events that were chosen during character creation caused that? Will it cause problems further down the line? Will it lead to a special event type mission for the character later? Maybe we will find out when the game fully releases.

I've heard "Blood for the Emperor, skulls for the Golden Throne", yeah the heretical shenanigans are enough to get them executed ie. calling the emperor "corpse emperor"

We only caught a mere glimpse of the peak of that iceberg brother. Let the Emperor's divine glory be our guiding light for what is to inevitably come.

Nothing good from the looks of it but I'm no psyker.

I think it's a hint that the characters, though loyal, are not totally untouched by chaos. I've noticed that quote more from my zealot with high corruption

the Emperor is Dead. He has been for a long time. He is no God, he is a corpse. Faith in a false god cannot save you, the only salvation lies in the faith of a true god.

I'm pretty sure the emperor is still alive my guy. His husk sits upon the Golden Throne of which 1000's of psykers are sacrificed daily to maintain some sort of line of communication to his soul. So Yes, indeed the emperor technically is still alive in some sense.

Emperor's not dead 'cause the orks think he isn't dead.

Shh. Don't tell them.

Hey, he's still ALIVE technically, but clinically diagnosed dead much like a lot of patients in a coma or vegetative state.
(Don't quote me on that one, I ain't sure which one it was)
