Tolkien Religion of Men...

Alright, this topic goes out to the BDers who obviously have read the stories more closely than I have.

In the Silmarillion it is said that the peoples of Numenor built temples to and worshipped Iluvatar. I know that with Ar Pharazon's coming to power this practice certainly dwindled considerably, but what about when Elendil and his sons came to permanently dwell in Middle Earth. Did the men of ME start worshipping Iluvatar as well, or did they worship individual Maiar and Valar, or did they not even worship anyone at all?

The only real references that I have seen among the men of the third age and religion have to do with the white tree in Osgiliath and the few surviving Dunedain. Am I missing anything?
