Worship?

[jafar]

I believe that this is an over-generalization and over-simplification of the complexity and uniqueness of religious belief and practices,

Of course is and I've stated it as such, ref below.
Belief / opinion vary to every individuals /entities.
No religion as of now has successfully enforced it's dogma to everyone.

Please mind the fact that the religion of Christianity was not founded by Jesus in the same manner as the religion of Islam was not founded by Mohammed.
And also the fact that the Gospel was not written by Jesus in the same manner as the Quran was not written by Mohammed.
Both publication was released many years after each entity's physical death by somebody else.

And also the fact that both religion has split to become hundreds of sub-religion, and each sub-religion is not the same either.
But let's make a generalization of both for simplicity sake.

I can imagine this information is helpful to some religious folks who are confused about how to seek their religious ideal of unconditional love which respects free will.

Yes it is
A stimulus / catalyst for them to overcome their fear is sometimes quite helpful.
By transmuting the fear, courage is then recognized.

They will then be more confident with themselves, willing to trust their intuition and conscience more.
As Higher Self / Holy Spirit / Spirit Guide talk to them through their own intuition and conscience.

Another catalyst that I usually offered to the religious is a questioning of:
"If Jesus is the only way, then what about those who were born before Jesus?"

You can easily replace Jesus with anything that the religious considered as holy / flawless/ idol / something that is more superior than their own conscience, such as Bible, Gospel, Torah, Mohammed, Quran, The Church, Religion of Christianity, Religion of Islam, Religion of Judaism etc..
