I know this is a very very old thread, but I want to point out- the Empire never says that Talos is not a god. The Empire only banned worship of Talos because they were forced to by the terms of the White-Gold Concordat, without which they would've been stuck in war they were too weak to fight. With the exception of people like the author of 'The Talos Mistake,' many in the Empire likely still consider Talos a god, they're just not allowed to openly admit it or be seen worshipping him (at a chapel, etc.). Even then, it's possible that the author of the book, who is the Imperial liason to the Dominion, might just be writing it for public relation's sake.

The moment the White-Gold Concordat's terms no longer stand, either from the renewal of hostilities with the Aldmeri Dominion or the Dominion's collapse, the Empire would most likely immediately start reinstating Talos worship.
