Beliefs are as different as the individual that believes in them. What's crazy is trying to force your beliefs on others.

And actually, Allah isn't a moon god or anything, he's just the Judeo-Christian God. o.O Anyway, some people still do worship the Sun and Moon, and there's nothing wrong with that, nothing weird about it. You worship that which you believe is holy and mysterious. They knew the Sun rose in the morning and the moon at night, but not why. They knew the Sun and moon gave life, but not why-- so they worshipped them to make sure they would continue.

Many nature religions of today worship - well - nature. There's nothing crazy about that. Just because I prefer to worship God who made nature, doesn't mean I would think those who worship His creation are crazy.

Yahweh ("God" of the old testament) started as a deity of storms and fire. He was a minor god in a hierarchy of many other gods worshipped by pre-Moses Jews.
I think it makes more sense to pray to a sun than to a storm god.

I think praying to the dead is crazy.
I think killing to gain 72 virgins is crazy.
I think that being baptized for dead ancestors is crazy.
A Christian does none of those things.

You could call me crazy for believing in God, but I could also call YOU crazy for NOT believing.
