People also worship nature. Just raw, unfiltered, no extra shit added nature with a capital N. It doesn't have free will either, but it's difficult to see why this diminishes nature as a valid object of worship...and so it's not clear why it would diminish any gods with respect to the same.
On this rock, an absurdly strong argument that water and dirt are also valid objects of worship isn't difficult to come by.
As an aside, it's common for people on the boards to notice that so much of the divine character boils down to a misapprehension of natural forces and circumstances - in this view, people are all, ultimately, worshipping nature. The sense of the numinous signifies actual content in the world, and this content is and has always defined the field of worship.
