      I think OP likely misspoke, but I have met plenty of people who would fall into the worshipping the religion (or the Bible) category.

      The golden calf situation fascinates me because they didn’t call it a god, they said it was God. I think about the people and churches who make their own.

        I was told that at the time the mental concept of God was that of a calf, and the universe was in its stomach, so it wasn’t that weird that they made a golden representation of him.

        I used to practice Christianity until high school. Then I figured I didn’t need to keep practicing anymore since I was already pretty good at it.
