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.

Uhhh -- from YOUR source --- venerate means to "regard with great respect". Maybe you should look in the mirror at that "English is your first language" thing...

Lack of education is excused ... the word ‘synonymous’ for the list means all the words in the list can and are used to mean venerate, and in most cases equally exchanged in sentence meaning..

That screen capture was not from a dictionary. It was from a thesaurus. A thesaurus contains words that are synonymous, that mean the same thing. That you don’t appear to realize what the purpose of a thesaurus might be gives me further pause regarding your grasp of English. Perhaps turning my to the Latin roots might guide you in a manner more within your safe zone.
