I think I understand what your saying, and agree with the moral sentiment, or personal mental health sentiments of what your saying. But the semantics at the very least...

...bother me. This seems close to self, or ego-worship. Making your 'god' into yourself when you know there is an outside truth to be acknowledged.

If you worship (concentrate, give value to, acknowledge) only your perspective, as important as it is to nurture a healthy one, your missing the boat of togetherness and truth, which we yearn for as social, conscious beings generating simultaneously subjective and objective manifestations of reality.
