Actually, not all of them agree with your question. There are more than 200 different sects of Protestants, and some accept religious icons, while others do not. Those who do not base their beliefs on the Ten Commandments, one of which forbids making and worshiping any "graven images." In fact, there are several verses in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) which say one should not bow down to or worship images of wood or stone (and by extension, artistic images like the icons used in Russian and Greek Orthodox churches).
Thus, there are some Protestants who regard an icon, including a statue of Mary or the saints, as idolatry, because it is a human-made image used in a prayer service. Interestingly, it is not just some Protestants who object to the use of icons in worship services. Jews and Muslims also believe that one should not make images of God, nor of Biblical figures like Moses.

How do Protestants use icons?
Protestants generally have a more reserved approach to the use of icons compared to some other Christian traditions, particularly Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Many Protestant denominations discourage the use of icons, viewing them as potential distractions from direct worship of God and as possibly leading to idolatry. However, some Protestant groups, like Anglicans and Lutherans, may incorporate more symbolic imagery in their worship, using icons or religious art as teaching tools or to enhance the worship experience, while still emphasizing that they are not objects of worship themselves. Overall, the use of icons in Protestantism is often minimal and approached with caution.
