The search for the true religion is the search for the kind of worship most pleasing to [[God]], which most embodies the [[Truth]] of [[existence]].
In '''[[religion]]''' worship is the act of performing reverent activities of adoration (Latin, ''latria'') dedicated to [[God]] (or [[Other gods|other deities]], depending on the religion), including bodily position, movements, gestures, facial expressions, sounds, [[praise]], [[prayer]], [[devotion]]s, reading from the [[scripture]]s, [[liturgy]], and [[hymn]]s.
In '''[[religion]]''' worship is the act of performing reverent activities of adoration (Latin, ''latria'') dedicated to [[God]] (or [[Other gods|other deities]], depending on the religion), most often involving formal or informal forms of [[liturgy]], including what are regarded by the religion, as the most appropriate bodily positions for reverent worship, movements, gestures, facial expressions, sounds, [[praise]], [[prayer]], [[devotion]]s, reading from the [[scripture]]s, [[liturgy]], and [[hymn]]s.
According to the [[Bible]], the oldest expression of worship was the reverence toward God by [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] in the [[Garden of Eden]] before the [[Fall of man]]. Knowledge of God was faithfully passed down the generations through the line of [[Seth]] to the [[Great Flood]]. After the time of [[Noah]] the forms of [[Paganism|pagan]] worship developed as deviations from the truth after the confusion of languages at the [[Tower of Babel]] and the consequent the spread of mankind.<ref>See [https://www.wisegeek.com/which-are-the-oldest-religions-in-the-world.htm#didyouknowout Which are the Oldest Religions in the World?
