How to use idolatry in a sentence?

1. Mary Baker Eddy:

   Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?

2. Abdurasul Juraboev Juraboev:

   Sometimes they worship and practice Islam, sometimes they do idolatry, my sisters are uncovered, lack knowledge of a religion. I wish they knew at least how to cover themselves up.

3. Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay:

   Logicians may reason about abstractions. But the great mass of men must have images. The strong tendency of the multitude in all ages and nations to idolatry can be explained on no other principle.

4. John Wesley:

   A feast of dedication; yet he calls it a feast to Jehovah; for as brutish as they were, they did not design to terminate their adoration in the image; but they made it for a representation of the true God...yet this did not excuse them from gross idolatry.”

5. Pope Francis:

   The Gospel does not condemn the wealthy, but the idolatry of wealth, the idolatry that makes people indifferent to the call of the poor.
