idolater
Devotee of images
An idolater is someone who worships idols—images or objects as representations of gods.
The term extends to anyone who gives excessive devotion to something: an idolater of wealth, idolaters at the altar of celebrity.
Religious contexts use it literally; secular contexts use it to criticize misplaced reverence.
Also spelled idolator.
