You are wrong on that point af_newbie. Everyone worships something. Your only choice is what that worship is centered on and whether you are going to be aware of what you are worshipping.
Here is the entire speech by David Foster Wallace. It was dubbed by Time magazine the greatest commencement speech of all time and it highlights this issue well.
This Is Water - Full version-David Foster Wallace Commencement Speech
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMIIt looks to me this Wallace fellow had it right (7:19-46) about the way it seems to me almost all, if not all, academic induced peacockish individuals live their particular puny lives of worship : "
Given the triumphant academic setting here, an obvious question is how much of this work of adjusting our default setting, involves actual knowledge or intellect? This question gets very tricky. Probably the most dangerous thing about an academic education, at least in my own case, is that it enables my tendency to over-intellectualize stuff, to get lost in abstract arguments inside my head, in stead of simply paying attention of what is going on right in front of me."
You will always find other humans right in front of you, but "God" - never ever.
