I know exactly what you are saying. Perhaps 'worship' was the wrong word.
What I was referring to was use of the cross, as if the symbol itself had some kind of 'power', such as in exorcisms.
“...as if the symbol itself had some kind of power, such as in exorcisms...”
It makes perfect sense that satan or a demon would be reminded of Christ and His sacrifice by seeing a crucifix and be overcome by the thought of Christ’s power over demons/satan. Demons have an intellect, and the sight of a cross would cause them to associate it with their nemesis, Christ, and become very agitated at the reminder of Christ’s absolute power over them/all evil.
