[Lord of the Rings] Why are Eru, the one true god in the Abrahamic sense, as well as his loyal followers comfortable with the Valar being worshiped?

No enlightened civilizations of Elves or Men worshiped the Valar. When the Elves first saw Orome, they mistook him for a wrathful god, but he straightened that out the moment he could. They respected the Valar and acknowledged their power and authority, but that's not really the same thing. They weren't seen as gods to be worshiped, more like a big brother that Father has put in charge while he's away. This is especially true of the Elves, who lived and spoke with them directly for many years before everything went to hell. While the free peoples would pray to them and ask for their assistance, the Valar were not worshiped and had no desire to be.

None of this is true for the Dwarves, since they came about under entirely different circumstances. They were actually created by one of the Valar, Aule, and are his children. While the religious beliefs and rites of the Dwarves are not shared with outsiders, they do worship and revere Aule as their father. They recognize Eru is mightier still, but Aule stills holds their devotion.
