Concerning the terrible history of tyrants and demagogues in history I think it best to do away with man worship as well as God worship for the same reason. It asks you to ignore certain unpleasant realities and focus on simplistic answers. To worship men or their claims for their particular God construct would be a call to slavishness, servility and credulity. No master men. No master God. If God or men are known you would neither fear, hate, or worship them. Only the mysterious can be worshiped and that is why ambitious men desire to keep a mysterious divide between them and their followers. If God is mysterious then it is an unknown God...the known Gods are not be feared or revered for they come from the frail minds of men.
"Man was born, with the power of thought, the knowledge of good and evil, and the cruel thirst for worship. And Man saw that all is passing in this mad, monstrous world, that all is struggling to snatch, at any cost, a few brief moments of life before Death's inexorable decree. "
Bertrand Russell
