Does the Rig Veda advocate idol worship?

Idol worship, also known as idolatry, is the practice of venerating a physical object, image, or statue as a representation of a deity.

In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, idolatry is generally condemned.

However,

• Christians, particularly in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions, use statues and icons of Mary and Jesus in churches and their houses. Is not idol worship?
• Muslims worship the Black Stone. The stone serves as a symbolic focal point, and Muslims kiss it or touch it during the Hajj pilgrimage. Is not idol worship?

——

Arguments apart, Rig Veda explicitly say that the formless ENERGY or BRAHMAN, which was referred to through various epithets like AGNI, INDRA, RUDRA, VAYU, SARASWATI, etc, was mentioned as that ONE cannot be seen.

Rig Veda 10.168.4 - deity - vāyu

आत्मा देवानां भुवनस्य गर्भो यथावशं चरति देव एषः । घोषा इदस्य शृण्विरे न रूपं तस्मै वाताय हविषा विधेम ॥
ātmā devānām bhuvanasya garbho yathāvaśaṃ carati deva eṣaḥ | ghoṣā id asya śṛṇvire na rūpaṃ tasmai vātāya haviṣā vidhema ||

English translation:

The breath of the Divinities, the embryo of the world, this god wanders as he wishes. Only his sounds are heard, not his form. To him, to the vāyu, we would do honor with our oblation.

Hence, Rig Veda does not advocate Idol worship.
