If you look at the old testament of the bible or texts of early faiths,
worship is demanded as a form of giving thanks, and an avenue to receiving a
place in the afterlife.

Non-believers and worshippers of false idols were somehow destroyed or killed
 off by plagues, weather, burnt as in the story of Sodom and Gemmorah, or
even slain by angels during passover.

In religion of a generic nature, the gods are regarded as being jealous, and
needy of worship to exist.  They demand obedience to the rules they establish
for man to follow.  As mentioned in another thread, in the origin fo faiths,
I think some rules were created by man and attributed to coming from superior
beings as a way to ensure they are not broken or treated seriously if broken.
