Title pretty much sums up my question, I understand that the series really tries to tackle the themes of Science v. Religion, however
there's not really any in depth analysis of any of these books online. Horus Heresy is a 40+ book series and still growing, so there's
got to be some metaphorical passages or additional themes that get quickly overshadowed right?

I mean some of the themes touched on is the parallels of good and evil and how it's all relative. The first 5 books do that the best.

Also the fall of the primarch is almost akin to a drug addict, where they only realize what they are until it's to late.

The biggest "theme" you see in the series is a morality between brothers and ends justify the means sort of things.
