Re: Do people still worship
Some people still do.
Consider the concept of Hellenic Polytheism, or the selective worship of several deities. Individuals who are considered beneath such a concept generally worship the Greek gods of antiquity (Apollo, Poseidon, Hades, etc...).
Here's a brief article on Hellenic Polytheism.
Though not mainstream, there are still small groups of individuals who worship the gods of our ancestors.

Re: Do people still worship
Some people believe that worship in combination with various forms of blood sacrifice was/is a technique to give power/energy to trans-dimensional beings. If this is true, then we humans were taught to worship by our masters.
No real God would require worship.
A father doesn't want his children to worship him. It is an obscene concept.
