If it's objective then we're into God Learnery things and I'll leave that one well alone (for now).
If it's subjective, then the penalties happen because you *know* you're doing the wrong thing, but you're doing it anyway because you have to. I think that's fair enough.
Though I would have thought that, in time, you'd either change the way you do magic, or you'd discover an identity of the thing you're worshipping/venerating/whatever which fitted your magic system. So I would be surprised if misapplied worship went on for many generations - though I guess some people can get things wrong for a very long time...
