Most people in Classical Greece worshipped individual gods by sacrificing animals (or foodstufs) by burning them in the approved ritual fashion in front of their statues.
But there were many other varieties of religion, including the Eleusinian Mysteries where the adepts worshipped in something between a modern church service and a Masonic ritual.
---- And then there were the orgiastic religions - including the rites of Cybele, Dionysus and Orpheus. In an orgiastic religion the worshippers would get drunk and party - though the partying sometimes included some very uncomfortable experiences.
