Maybe. Probably. I think it's difficult for people to face that profound unknowing that is the human condition. We humans survive and thrive by understanding how our physical environment functions, so that we can manipulate it to our own advantage. So we get really nervous and uncomfortable when we are confronted by the unknown. It means we have no 'control', there. And that makes us vulnerable. "God" is the most profound unknown of all. God is the great mystery source, sustenance, and purpose of all that is. Including ourselves. Its difficult to just stand there, "naked in our unknowing", before the great mystery source of all that is.I agree that people of little or no faith have to have an idol to represent what they worship.
That was the point of the question, to help the person to reason the thing out logically. Idols are not made because of "too much belief." It is because of a lack of faith.
