Yes i'v read quite a bit on them, i'v also chatted with ADB as have others on a number of these subjects before on the Chainsword and Bolter. For reference, he wrote the First Heretic.
Everything scientifically proven can be cited, yet i dont see any links in your gibberish. Ive grown very tired of this nonsense. I can show you a red balloon and you would tell me it is a blue tree, no amount of explaining or logic can fix this level of...well there isnt a word for how backwards you are
For godsake man, the mans all but spouting pure blasphemy about the Chaos Gods, I think it's safe to assume he didn't view them very highly.
He viewede himself as above them , didnt mean he denied they were gods. Find me a text that is canon where Horus says "The dark gods are not gods. im an atheist because there are no gods" oh wait that is right, it doesnt exist because he never believed they werent gods
http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/...=+word++bearers++chaos++sorcerer#entry3807393 " "Many Chaos Marines may not care about their Legions, or have moved on to embrace specific aspects, philosophies, or whatever else within or without their Legion's ideals. But many (the majority, perhaps) are perfectly happy being Word Bearers or World Eaters, as discussed in that mega-post back here. Some players are taking choice to mean dilution, and that's a misconception that no amount of discussion really seems to help with." There ya go, i'm not saying every bloody Word Bearer is going to suddenly worship mono-gods, but it's a thing that can happen.
I'm not saying Horus was either smart nor right, merely that his perception exists, and likely continues to exist with Chaos Space Marines.
This doesnt prove the things you have written. We already know that every once in a while a WB strays and then they are executed or forced into "re-enlightenment". This is the entire point of the Brotherhood, to wipe out those in the Legion who are no longer "fit the bill". The Word Bearers dont accept those who stray (or the Dark Council doesnt, some Host leaders let it slide sometimes but they hide it from the Council because they know it is forbidden) and will punish the traitors accordingly. Suffice to say any WB who isnt following the rules is no longer a WB
The perception you "think" he had that is, it is still never said he denounced them as gods once again
