'''Worship''' is essentially, primarily, the appropriate primacy of attention properly given to whatever is in reality most fundamentally important, [[Truth]], [[God]]; or a fundamental emphasis on, or orientation to, that which a person believes rightly or wrongly to be basically essential to his or her well-being, whatever is held to be of most vital importance above all other considerations in life. Worship involves willing or unwilling sacrifice of time, talent and treasure, variously rooted in [[fear]], [[addiction]], [[Obsessive thinking|obsession]], [[Motivation|dedication]] of [[purpose]], [[Awe|admiration]], or [[love]] of whatever is the primary focus of attention, of worship, whether or not it is called worship.

[[Animal]]s dedicate all their energies to survival and existence, their need for food, security, reproduction, and, in the higher forms of life, to satisfaction and pleasure and need for mutual collective group cohesion, even a rudimentary expression of appreciation for whatever or whomever provides these things. But as all-consuming as their passion for these things in life may be, they do not consciously worship with any discernable awareness of appreciation that which is greater than themselves, although in the case of livestock and pets they do respond with a form of affection toward those who directly care for them. [[Atheism]] sees human beings as animals.
