[WH40K] Did the God-Emperor of the pre-Heresy days ever acknowledge that he was a god or did that belief get established after he was interred in the Golden Throne?

He definitely was the most potent psyker from his earliest days, but was it his will to be venerated as an actual god?

He was venerated, yes, but he denied it at every turn. He went so far as to exterminate an entire world that Lorgar had turned into a cult to the God Emperor, Stating they were irredeemably tainted by religion and alienating the Primarch of the Word Bearers in the process.

The actual establishment of the Church of the Savior Emperor, also known as the Ministorum or the Ecclesiarchy, did not come until M32, but worship of the Emperor began long before the Heresy.
