I wonder where the Baphomet thing came from then...

I presume the "Old Order" would go way back - I don't think the Templars we've seen in the series so far conciously invoke Juno when saying "May the Father of Understanding guide us"; maybe the phrase is just a remnant from the old days, its original meaning lost. So would Templars then have originated following the Toba Catastrophe as a faction among humans that wanted to submit to Juno once again? And somehow the Templars forgot about Juno - maybe because Minerva and Jupiter imprisoned her - devolving into an order that still desired order and stability and peace, but had no knowledge of Juno and would thus attempt to exercise it themselves.
