IOW, a creed's typical usefulness is a most clearly as a distraction from the Bible.

Not as bad as singing. Or for that matter, talking! And then there's bibliolatry. Brrrrr.

Oh, don't forget babies crying, and toddlers squealing.

I'll consider there might be a reasonable pejorative worth juxtaposing the letters b-i-b-l-i-o-l-a-t-r-y when someone does twice what the Bereans are said to have done, and which I believe was held up as a model for us, to which to aspire. Other than an obligatory epistle and gospel citation, those combined with a recitation of a creed are too often the only sliver of God's Word many--dare I say most?--parishoners get in a week.

In short, many have already seen to there not being a problem anything like bibliolatry in Christendom. Sad!
