The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagog

Summary

This quote suggests that the perceived style or manner in which God is worshipped within religious institutions such as churches, mosques, or synagogues, appears vastly dissimilar from the style observed in the natural universe.

The quote implies that there may be a disconnect between the human interpretation and representation of God and the unfathomable grandeur and complexity of the natural world.
