I think OP likely misspoke, but I have met plenty of people who would fall into the worshipping the religion (or the Bible) category.
The golden calf situation fascinates me because they didn’t call it a god, they said it was God. I think about the people and churches who make their own.
Aye, it was a multi-layered answer, like an onion, which is another thing I don’t worship.
I’ve known many a religious person who puts the human-made religion above the principles they claim their deity(ies) espouse(s). Just like people putting a political person over their principles, or an athlete/actor/famous person over personal values.
I was told that at the time the mental concept of God was that of a calf, and the universe was in its stomach, so it wasn’t that weird that they made a golden representation of him.
