Idols evoke worship in us because we think they can save us from life’s contingencies, mysteries, and finitude. Put another way, we make idols of all sorts of things – the stock market, a job, superstar athletes and performers, our families – because we think that by giving our allegiance to them we will make our lives secure and complete.
