Worship is usually considered the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration.
To worship anything, it seems to me, you have to believe it has no faults, that it is perfect. I don't know of anyone, anything, or any idea with is beyond criticism in whatever ways. That goes for this universe too.
This is not to say some people don't consider money, for instance, as an end in itself, but I think they are obviously mistaken. People do indeed worship all sorts of things because of their unexamined assumptions.
The classic argument that we all worship something is an unexamined assumption, which comes about as the result of worshiping something
I don’t see anyone in your definition of worship that it only applies to things seen by the worshipper as perfect.
Couldn’t we say you have reverence and adoration for truth?
