The problem is that they are not real and are instead human ideas, and thus have all the same issues that humans have. A real, good, powerful god simply would not let organisations like the Catholic or Protestant churches (riddled with pedophilia and SA, constantly covering up for it, complicit in crimes against humanity all over the world and throughout history) present themselves as that God’s representation on earth. I assume the same goes for all large religious organisations, but am not familiar enough with any of them to say.
Worshipping the nuclear furnace at the center of our solar system makes sense because it literally gives us life and we are made of the same stuff. It’s worthy precisely because it can’t give a fuck about humans above fish or trees. We all need it to live and it will destroy us all when it dies.
A “good god” is just a benevolent king, and not worthy of worship from the jump.
god/gods caring about anything we do is the problem imo.

Depends what you mean by ‘worship’ in context. I love, respect and am greatful for Sol and Mother Gaia but I wouldn’t say I worship them
