How can atheists believe a "great being" is worthy of highest honor, love and veneration, when we don't believe in a "great being" at all.

I don't believe in a magical sky daddy, but he is worship worthy.. << WTF..Huh

Well as I explained, we can believe Socrates is a honorable person worthy of high veneration, whether we know he actually existed or not.

In the same way, you can believe the maximally great being is worthy of worship, whether you believe he exists or not.

The difference between honoring and worshiping is just in level, in principle they are the same, it's just worship is a much higher level of honoring.

So if you can honor Socrates whether you know he exists or not, then you can honor God whether you know he exists or not.
