>venerate and worship are synonyms.

"Veneration" used to have a broader meaning, close or synonymous to the meaning of "worship" today, but in current usage (which is the sense in which I'm using the words) the meaning of "veneration" has narrowed to mean great respect or reverence, vs. worship, which is the adoration given to God. Pic related.

I mean, if you prefer, you could just replace "veneration" and "worship" with "reverence" and "adoration," respectively, and the latter two words convey the same meaning I intended by the first two, perhaps with greater clarity?
