This could be a misunderstanding due to Google translate, but let's agree that we are talking about a "religious service," and more accurately, a "pagan religious service."
The word "divine" means: "of, relating to, or proceeding directly from God" (
dictionary) and I think we can both agree that pagan rituals espoused by the Orthodox churches do not meet the standards of this definition.
