idolatry
This term carries a heavy weight of judgment, often implying a misplaced or excessive devotion that blinds the admirer to the flaws of the object or person. In a religious sense, it describes the transgression of worshipping idols, which is typically viewed as a spiritual error or heresy within monotheistic traditions.
In secular contexts, the word shifts toward a psychological description of obsession. It describes a state where a person is elevated to a god-like status, suggesting a lack of critical distance and an unhealthy level of reverence that transcends simple admiration.
