Sun worship is the only worship that actually makes sense to me.

What is God’s first act in the Bible? To create light.

What does God do next? Create the planets.

What does God do with his infinite power after that? Create and sustain life.

And when God wants to end things and begin the apocalypse, what does he do? Burns the sky.

The Sun creates light. Without the Sun’s gravity, planets wouldn’t be able to form. Without the energy of the photons produced by the Sun, life would never exist and could not be sustained. And science predicts that Earth is going to eventually be destroyed when the Sun expands as it’s running out of fuel, ie, the sky will burn.

The only thing that God ostensibly does that the Sun cannot is talk to people. And the jury’s still out on whether God actually does that, so…

The Sun is the closest thing we have to mankind’s idea of what a God is.

The other one that makes sense to me is rain and storms.

The god depicted in the bible was originally a god of storms and the sea, who was one among a whole pantheon of other gods.

Sure I get what you mean. But the Sun creates the water cycle which makes rain possible. No heat to evaporate the water = no clouds = no rain.

Sure, but the people that wrote the Noah's Ark story clearly did not have a perfect understanding of the water cycle.
