Yes.If you had to worship God then we/christians would have actually been commanded (in the bible) to do all of the dark age stuff that the 'Church' and the church leaders of that time commanded to be done against non believers.
As it is in the bible we do not have a set doctrine of worship.(God does not want use to worship the method of worship, as the Jews fell into. that is why so many different denominations have found legitmacy in Christianity. Our worship is shaped according to our strengths and weaknesses. (because we are all alittle different we have different strengths and weaknesses, so our worship will vary from person to person.) We have classified these differences under the term 'denominations.' In the end our different denominations facilitate the greatest command. to worship/love God with all we do have. That is To worship/love God with all of our Heart, mind, Spirit and strength.
