    What if I told you that many people don’t believe in any gods at all? Worship is a choice and not a necessity.

      I think their point was that we inherently start worshipping ourselves once we begin to think that we are the source of empirical truth and rationality that our gods used to be.

        My point is that many people reject the idea of godhood altogether, and the concept of worship is akin to voluntary slavery. Some people never had any gods at all.

        Just because a group of people does something frequently, does not make it a requirement or even an expectation of the whole.
