Gosh... "Why does Religion teach not to put anyone on a pedestal?"

You are not suppose to worship anyone but God. To put someone on pedestal is like putting them first and no one comes before God.

Because of the Scripture that says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, bond nor free, for we are all ONE in Christ Jesus." Basically, it means that no one regardless of standing in life is going to be held with any more or less regard on Judgement Day unless they judge people themselves in life. God will use the same methods of judgment against those who perform this shameful act and they will answer for it! The Scripture says, "Judge not lest ye be judged. For with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured unto you again!" Therefore, love everyone, treat everyone fairly, and don't be judgmental of people regardless of the circumstance.

The air is too thin at that height?
Actually no human being is better than another. We are all children of the one creator...God. When we put people up too high...power corrupts their perspective.

No graven images, no other gods before Me..
And, whether that person has powers or not, if you're paying more attention to them, than to God, you're putting other gods before Him.

out of concern that one will begin to worship that person as a god. that's called idolatry and is the gravest of sins.

Because we're all equal. We perceive our separateness and individuality. Although we have our own intricacies, they are interwoven.

Because, they eventually end up being worshipped themselves.

We are not supposed to worship humans- we are supposed to worship God.
