I never understood the disdain for sun worshipping religions. Seems just as valid as any other.

Seems more valid given that which they worship exists.

Well, most energy. There’s also plenty of chemical and potential energy on planets and moons.

More valid than most religions, I'd say.

Plus you don't have to pray to the sun, you can pray to Joe Pesci and worship the sun.
