Worship is deeply engrained in the human psyche, studies have started to explore this idea (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19471985/), it is almost hardwired into our way of being. I think history and anthropology shows this again and again.
So be very careful of what you elevate to the highest station. Do not erect a false idol. And better to remain agnostic than atheist (I don't have enough faith to be an atheist 😂).

For most people these days it seems to be themselves, Money or sex. But regardless of whether you think we created God or God created us. I argue that from a logical point of view, given that we are hardwired for worship, you better put some unfallible, benevolent being on your throne or get rekt.
