Icon breakers who destroyed icons because they believed christians used them for idol worship?
Iconoclasts were individuals who opposed the use of religious icons in Christianity, believing that such images led to idolatry and detracted from true worship of God. This movement gained significant momentum during the Byzantine Empire, particularly in the 8th and 9th centuries, leading to the destruction of many religious images. Iconoclasts argued that the veneration of icons was incompatible with the teachings of The Bible, advocating for a more abstract form of worship. The conflict between iconoclasts and iconodules (those who supported the use of icons) ultimately shaped the theological and artistic landscape of Christianity.

Because the Christians believed in the one God and believed in Jesus Christ, their religion was illegal, and they had to meet in secret to avoid being punished for breaking the laws.
