Buddhists do not worship either idols or the Buddha. The Buddha was just a man, he is revered for the work he did in identifying a method to achieve to enlightenment, but not worshipped. The statues of the Buddha and others are just statues, meant to focus attention. The Buddha himself made it clear that the presence or absence of god(s) is not important and that only we can find our own path to enlightenment

Buddhists revere the teachings of the Buddha and his students which all ultimately point to the free and true nature of our minds. Statues may have some symbolic value but they aren't objects of worship per se.
