In this case, God used Paul to proclaim the Gospel.
True

It doesn't mean the Athenians were worshiping God ingorantly

False

-- they had an altar to the "unknown god."

True

How can you worship God when you're ignorant of Him?

Paul wrote, by your assent under inspiration of the Holy Spirit that they were worshiping God in ignorance; are you now denying the scripture ? :
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Acts, Catholic chapter seventeen, Protestant verse twenty three,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

BIG difference. Don't you think? True, there is a big difference between worshiping God in ignorance and worshiping God in spirit and truth.

But, hey. I'm just an "Internet Theologian." But all I used the Internet for was to search God's word.

As you say

Try a better translation -- it would help you -- instead of what the Catholic Cult "writes" --- "Acts, Catholic chapter seventeen"

"What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you."

God is not a "what" -- God is "He."

Strike 1.

True, there is a big difference between worshiping God in ignorance and worshiping God in spirit and truth.

Only if you know you're worshiping God. They were worshiping an altar made to the unknown god. Paul took the opportunity to bring the Gospel and explain that God is God and the only God.

Keep trying...
