Reverence

Read Leviticus 19-21

Leviticus 19:3 " Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God."

Our story world will probably contain churches, courts, or other places that command respect. There may even be certain people that deserve deference like parents, pastors, or judges, even in a society that values equality.

Plotlines could include showing that a revered person doesn’t deserve it or a less-valued person should receive more honor. We could stir outrage in our readers by showing a place of worship being dishonored.
 
It’s a reflection of reality. Some places and people receive reverence through fear and others by earning it.
