Personally, I don't believe in any kind of worshipping. When I was younger I had to attend religious services. I saw a bunch of people using a bunch of symbols ask for the forgiveness of an unseen entity. After performing these rituals and being forgiven, not by that unseen entity but by another human being dressed in some kind of special clothing, these same people would then give money and ask for special favors. Then they'd congratulate each other for being a good (insert name of religion). That ritual never did impress me. And as far as I can tell, participating in that ritual did not bring anything special into my life, pay my bills, put food on my table or a roof over my head.
On the other side of the coin, by NOT participating anymore in those rituals, my life has not changed. I still have bills to pay, a need to put food on the table and a need to have a roof over my head.
If a person wants to worship someone or something, I don't have a problem with it. And I don't care if they want to worship a god, a devil, a tree, or a snail. If that ritual helps them become a better person, if that ritual means they treat me with respect, I'm all for it. I will respect that person right back.

Don't know if we could get a count. I don't believe in the devil so I couldn't worship him.

There is no god, and so there is no devil. The devil in biblical terms is an idea based on Greek mythology. Read about Pan and Dionysos. Or wait, maybe Greek mythology was written by the devil, so we would question the bible. :D
