Could someone add some information about African masks? From what I understand, they are idols.

Idolatry isn't worshipping a statue. They believed their gods to be in the heavens. They just had statues of their deites so that they have something to bow to.

Muslims also place their heads on a piece of clay when they want to worship god. Aminabzz (talk) 17:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of citing North Korea when in the US there is institutionalized idolatry for demi-gods like "founding fathers", idolatry for politicians from the Democratic-Republican biparty, and for celebrities and billionaires?

Besides, communism is from the western Eurasia("europe"), not from the Sinosphere. Fakecontinent (talk) 08:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
