No, you're absolutely right; whether they deify sex, money, or whatever else, nobody goes long without the worship of something. I think these others are arguing about the personification of said thing to the shape of a deity, which is really a moot distinction. A valid distinction, though, is that there are aimless zombies out there with no purpose until one inhabits them; there are temporary atheists. If they survive it, they find something to worship.
