The Haggadah writes: “At first, our fathers worshiped alien gods.” Worshiping an alien god (heathenism) is a state possible only after one has made contact with the Creator, has become aware of the opposition between his attributes and the Creator’s and has chosen to act against the Creator’s will. Thus, heathenism is already a certain degree of awareness, of ability to operate beyond one’s birth nature.

I feel that is a logical assumption that we were created by aliens. Therefore, worshiping our “Creator” would result in worshiping alien “gods.”
That doesn’t make it right, either. I’m sure they don’t want to be worshiped. “Worshiping” is a learned ritual, taught by religions.
