worship like a dog
In Hozier's famous song "Take Me to Church," there is a phrase called "worship like a dog," which comes across as a metaphor to me. However, I can't understand the meaning of this sort-of-metaphor because dogs can't worship. So, how does Hozier express his disapproval towards the Church through this phrase? Please tell me the meaning of the phrase.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Hi
In metaphor, dogs tend to have a reputation for being very loyal, faithful and obedient toward their owner
So far as we know, they don't do this because they have made a reasoned judgement about whether their owner is a good person or not - they just seem to do it because they are pack animals and group themselves around a leader. You could say, then, that they 'worship' - as
