Of course not. Such a mindset is beyond a Fundies comprehension. Try explaining it to them, and the conversation will go something like this:
ATHEIST: "I don't believe in God."
FUNDIE: "Why do you hate God so?"
ATHEIST: "I don't hate God, I simply believe that He doesn't exist."
FUNDIE: "Okay, so, you're substituting Richard Dawkins for God and worshipping him instead."
ATHEIST: "No, I agree with Dawkins on many points, but I don't worship the man."
FUNDIE: "Then you worship the universe, the Creation, instead of its Creator."
ATHEIST: "No, no, I don't worship the universe either."
FUNDIE: "Well, then, what DO you worship?"
ATHEIST: "Nothing at all."
FUNDIE: "You worship nothingness? So you're a nihilist, then, a nothing worshipper."
ATHEIST: "No no no. I mean to say, I don't worship anything at all."
FUNDIE: "Impossible. Everybody worships something."
ATHEIST: "Well, I don't."
FUNDIE: "It's money, right? You worship money."
ATHEIST: "No, I don't worship anything."
FUNDIE: "It's power you worship then, like political power?"
ATHEIST: "No, no, no. I told you. I don't worship anything at all."
FUNDIE: "You worship your hedonistic lifestyle! That's what you worship!"
ATHEIST: "Haven't you been paying attention? I don't. Worship. Anything. At all!"
FUNDIE [scratching his head]: "I'm having a hard time understanding you, here. Are you saying that the thing you worship is something that can't really be described?"
ATHEIST [facepalming]: "Grrrr! For the last time, I don't worship! My belief system features a total and complete lack of worship!
I could not, would not, worship a boat.
I will not, will not, worship a goat.
I will not worship in the rain.
I will not worship on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree! Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not worship in a box. I do not worship with a fox.
I will not worship in a house. I do not worship with a mouse.
I will not worship gods or bling. I do not worship ANYTHING!"
FUNDIE: "So ...
...
...
...
You worship nature, then?"
