worshipers
Those who venerate
Worshipers are people engaged in worship—those who attend religious services or express devotion to a deity.
The term applies broadly across faiths: Worshipers gathered at the mosque for Friday prayers.
It can extend to secular devotion: worshipers of celebrity, sun worshipers on the beach.
Also spelled worshippers.
