Whattajoke ---- "worship"
Your *own* definition is revere, regard highly, reverence, worship, hallow, hold sacred, exalt, vaunt, adore, honor, respect, esteem, revered, respected, esteemed, honored, hallowed, holy, sacred
1 out of 19?!?!?!? So --- you're 5% right??? Surely you can do better than that
That “venerate” is synonymous with “worship” is obviously lost upon you for a variety of reasons, your choice of house of worship among them, but I do find myself wondering if English is your first language.
