Yup. Worship only stops damage. Damage is only from combat and things
that use the word damage. Mana burn isn't one of those.

,----[ Magic Comp. Rules <http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules> ]
| 300.3. When a phase ends (but not a step), any unused mana left in a
| player's mana pool is lost. That player loses 1 life for each one
| mana lost this way. This is called mana burn. Note that mana burn is
| loss of life, not damage, so it can't be prevented or altered by
| effects that affect damage. This game action doesn't use the
| stack. (See rule 406, 'Mana Abilities.')

I've discovered that I often visit the state of confusion, and I know
my way around pretty well.

Yes. Mana Burn is loss of life, not damage. Worship doesn't stop it.

Yes, if you take manaburn that would lower your life total to 0 or less.

Manaburn isn't damage; it's loss of life. Worship only changes what -damage-
does to your life total, not what losing (or paying) life does to it.
