If i recall correctly zensunni in the book also used/read the orange-catholic bible.
Overall I think the topic of religion stays vague apart from Herbert making use of the trope of a Messiah and using syncretism as a symbol that major shifts happened in the human societies that brought opposing religions together.

The resulting total ban on computational devices as heresy lead to the rise of the Spacing Guild’s monopoly on interstellar navigation.
