The First Commandment (Exodus 20:3) says; "You must not have any other gods against my face."
"and you must not serve their gods..." Deuteronomy 7:16
Daniel 3:18;"let it become known to you, O king, that your gods are not the ones we are serving..."
"For even though there are those who are called 'gods,' whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many 'gods' and many 'lords,' there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him." 1 Corinthians 8: 5,6
"Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11: 14 (The Latin word for light gives us the word Lucifer from this text)
"Men of Athens, I behold that in all things you seem to be more given to the fear of the deities than others are. For instance, while passing along and carefully observing your objects of veneration I also found an atlar on which had been inscribed 'To an Unknown God.'" Acts of Apostles 17 : 22-28

I would say not really, but some gods are very conceptual. It depends on what you have in mind, what you are focusing on. Those who worship fashion, beauty, sexiness, allure, and love may not be worshipping Venus but they may attract Her attention. When it comes to worship, you pretty much have to have certain associations in mind. Gods have names and associations that usually encompass more than just a single topic. Venus is about beauty, sex, and love. You can't say a fashion victim is worshipping Her by obsessing over fashion and beauty. You can't say a hooker is worshipping Her by having lots of sex. You can't say a romance novelist is devoted to Her just for writing about that kind of stuff.

If you're referring to the commandment where God says "You shall have no other Gods before me," He's talking about putting things in front of him on your list of priorities. It's about not putting God first. Looking up to Michael Jordan (example) instead of God. Spending more time looking through fashion magazines than the Bible. God sees that as worshipping those things and he does not like that. I hope that answers your question!

There is no gods but ONE GOD.
If there were more than one GOD, there will be a war between them. That is because each god will go with his part to his own system according to his own will.
Starting from the fine atom through huge Galaxy, every thing in the universe is going through the same order i.e. the same WILL .

Yes many religious people don't really believe their religions story's but they believe that the religion makes society better and uplifts them!
Don't expect them to be honest though!

Oh yes, many do just that in order to (as a friend confessed) "play safe". They doubt so many things, but lack the courage to question it!

Why would someone "worship" something they don't believe in? That does not make any sense.
