Worshipping implies putting dedication towards a specific deity or has to be used in a religious context. He VALUES intelligence, which, by definition, is a important, useful and/or worthy characteristic one possess.
Yet since his value of things are somewhat near on par with each other, and they are at a near level, they are all idols.
What is valued most (or things valued very near that) are all gods/idols.
That is how Bible and Quran talk. And they talk accurately.
So to say religion is defined with respect to relationship and devotion to god(s) and to say god(s) are only defined in the context of religion is circular reasoning. You can't do that and people who done that for example the people who coined the word "Atheism" fell into that trap of circular reasoning.
So Atheism defined is use of circular reasoning.....while breaking down the word and it's origin in simplicity shows it's impossible to be an Atheist.

Doubtful.
Therefore there's a doubt.
You value something. Whatever is the highest degree of value you have is worship.
You either worship yourself or you don't.
If you don't, you should value something higher than you at much higher reverence and value.
The fact you guys can't admit this word shows how ashamed people at admitting it which proves the shame thing I said and that we only accept and are honored of worshiping the sacred.
Do you make this crap up yourself or do you get help online?
Worship myself?
I'm a human, not worth worshipping. I hold humanity as more valuable than me.
Do I worship it?
No. I worship nothing. Certainly not the firewater you're promoting.
