Isn't it atheistic to worship a man and ignore the root source?

The fish sticker with "Jesus" written in it has nothing to do with atheism!
Somewhere in the New Testament it is said Jesus told his primarily fisherman disciples that they would become "fishers of men", hence the fish symbol.
And during the time when Christians were persecuted by Romans, the fish symbol was like a "secret handshake" fellow Christians would scratch in the ground with their foot to communicate with each other. That might be a myth.

maximum passages of the Bible explicitly label Jesus because the Son of God, occupying the right hand seat of God in heaven. there's a difficulty in Christianity were people to wish to Jesus. it really is in direct contradiction to the first Commandment of having no different gods formerly God. the in person-friendly words thanks to get round this difficulty is to promote Jesus to "God" prestige with assistance from incorporating him into God and combine the Holy Spirit. An accordingly the Trinity replaced into conceived later in the historic past of Christianity.

The Holy Trinity includes God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus was no ordinary man.

Perhaps it isn't meant as the creation symbol (like Darwin's footed fish is meant to symbolize evolution). Maybe it's meant as Jesus being the fisher of men?
I dunno....just a thought.

Not if Jesus is seen as the imbodiment of God. If this is the case it's like worshipping the same thing.

Most Christians believe that Jesus is, as the Bible says, God.

the early church used the sign of the fish to show believers where they were meeting.
