Idolaters are individuals who worship idols, which can be physical representations of deities or other objects believed to possess divine power. This practice often involves the veneration of material objects, images, or figures instead of a singular, abstract concept of God. Idol worship is commonly associated with various religions and cultures, and it is often viewed negatively in monotheistic traditions, which emphasize the worship of one God. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe people who place excessive value on material possessions or ideals.
