Spot on.
i.e. Idols.
What is an Idol?
The Bible understands that idolatry extends beyond the worship of images and false gods. It is a matter of the heart, associated with pride, self-centeredness, greed, gluttony ( Php 3:19 ), and love for possessions ( Matt 6:24 ).
Idolatry is a major theme of the Bible. It challenges God's sovereignty.
Essentially, an idol can be anything that takes the place of God as the most important focus and priority in our life.
We are all guilty of this.

Worship - the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
Seems it's not only progs that are changing definitions...

This is what the atheist crowd either ignores or doesn’t understand. They’re still worshiping something.

Human nature. Progessivism is a religion. Takes a lot of faith and voodoo like global warming and covid. Cannot be questioned. They even have a diet (bugs, vegan etc). Kill free speech. Cancel people.
Same as every religion ever.

That's a lie. I don't worship anything.

Negative, chief. They didn’t worship the golden calf. They worshipped YHWH using the golden calf. That’s how ancient Semitic people worshipped their gods… they needed an idol for the god to inhabit so that they could localize their god during worship. Re-read Exodus and you’ll see it’s obvious the golden calf was a representation of YHWH. That’s how the Israelites worshipped him before Moses came down with the tablets giving them instructions for the first time NOT to use idols in their worship of YHWH.
ETA: Exodus 32 refers to the golden calf as the one who rescued the Israelites from Egypt and Aaron takes the golden calf and builds an altar for it and proclaims a feast to YHWH.
