DMT and the Church are both technologies to access the experience of God, with very different costs. I agree on the worshipping part, in fact I'm talking about experiencing God, not worshipping. Worshipping is a way to eventually experience God, it's not a consequence, at least within Christianity. Faith means trusting that through worshipping you will eventually have the experience of God, in a way or another.

Then if you prefer not to call it a God, that's fine, but you miss out on the fact that countless people in the past millennia were talking about the same thing you saw on DMT. The God of Spinoza, Mulla Sadra or Plato is not necessarily a God to worship.
