That’s an interesting point - the thing is that early Judaism is considered by many scholars to have been henotheistic (believing in other gods, but not worshipping them), but that interpretation of Judaism was no longer dominant by the time Christianity formed, and even early Christians write of pagan gods as either ‘demons’ or figments of human imagination.
I also find it interesting that the Holy Trinity skirts the rule against worshipping other gods by loopholing that God is actually three “persons”.
Then there’s the Catholic Church’s use of idolatry with their worship of Mother Mary and other saints. But now I’m really nitpicking and probably going off the reservation.
God probably just gives them a pass since they invented the most metal idolatry with the skulls embedded everywhere and such. Think about it for just a second.
