In all pagan religions where men worship idols; worship consists of making offerings on alters to their gods without any attempt to communicate with their god.
Since their gods are non existent and do not live any attempt to communicate with them would be futile.
Rev 9:
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

The only God you can communicate with is a living God; and the only Living God is God.
