If they were telepathic I could see why people might.
But they're not outside of the comics.
Like people said, they kinda are in multiple novels. Sea of Sorrows... And in the games as well, and in the RPG... And hinting at it in A:R.

Cults IRL are all over the place, worship the stupidest of shit and can last for so long undetected. So cults worshiping something like the Alien is so inevitable to me that it makes perfect sense. And when you add that low key telepathy/nightmare induction from them, it fits well for me.
And to answer the OP. Not IRL of course, but if we're roleplaying? Don't know if I'd worship them, though might go there eventually, but I'd be the scientist doing years of research to understand them. Reading wikis about their biology and variants and the Anchorpoint Essays is what got me into the expanded universe after the films since I always was a huge lover of the sciences like Astronomy and Biology.
