It's beneath one to talk to god (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

prayer rug

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'god' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'it's beneath one to talk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for prayer rug that I've seen is " appeals to master from here?".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
