Well, given that your friends worship idols, I think you have a very clear model for what idolatry is. Do you think it's that?
To me, idolatry is like worshiping the miracle of the phone receiver when really it's the whole network that makes the cool stuff happen. Some people might say, "I'm worshiping the phone network by worshiping the receiver," but you never learn how a switch works if that's the case.
