was no exception. I hope this clarifies your thinking...


All humans worship something? What is your definition of worship?

per dictionary.com

wor·ship (wûrshp)
n.

1.
a. The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a
sacred object.
b. The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which
this love is expressed.
2. Ardent devotion; adoration.
3. often Worship Chiefly British. Used as a form of address for
magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries: Your Worship.

Well for most definition #1 is relavent as it pertains to some diety
or sacred object. Definition #2 can relate to some in that one can
have a devotion to a thing or a practice. When one who runs daily this
in some sense is a person devoted to the run. The practice gives them
a great deal of satisfaction and comfort. This deep devotion to a
daily ritual of running could in a sense be a form of worship. Other
examples are abound that are quite similar in nature.
