wooden idols
Timber gods, worshipped
Wooden idols are carved figures made from wood, used as objects of religious devotion or worship.
The phrase appears most often in contexts critical of such practices—biblical passages condemning paganism, missionary accounts, or metaphorical references to misplaced devotion: They bowed before wooden idols.
The term carries connotations of primitive or false religion from a monotheistic perspective.
