Maybe worship is just taking time out from the pragmatic tasks that occupy us most of the time to notice the fine grained things we rarely attend to but which can be transfixing when contemplating the cosmos. I think those feelings/perspectives are hard to hold on to. So maybe rituals help people make time? Still, it is easy for an intellectually held abstraction to completely take the place. That is probably why Sagan's rituals included ganja.
