When the word "idol" is mentioned it is often visualized as a carved statue, an object that we pray to or bow down to. But idolatry is more about our heart than it is about an object. The moment we begin to give or treat anything with more attention,  effort and time verses God is the moment we begin to enter into idolatry towards God in our hearts. One of the most important things to understand about idolatry is that it often has nothing to do with the object. Most commonly idolatry enters into our life as a result of God not being the priority in our life. When God is diminished in our life something else will fill its void. These things in and of themselves may not be bad things, such as our career, kids, or even going to church. But again the reality of idolatry is not how important we make something, the reality of idolatry is when anything becomes  elevated in our life more than God. God must come first, so that no matter what we say or do, we do it to the Glory of God.Mark 12:30 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me."
