No, it IS less valid, because it's not even an interpretation, now that I think about it. The commandment itself is no metaphor; it's spelled out clearly. It doesn't mention the word "worship" once, or anything that could possibly be construed as worship, and commands the individual to rest. It is cut and dry and inarguable.
