what I think he/she is saying - that when something is associated with worship, the tendency toward idolatry may be higher risk.

I'm a he. :-) I should make that clear in my profile I guess.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. But I'm being more imperative than that. The tendency toward idolatry is higher risk. I use the nation of israel as my object lesson. In many ways the experience of God's chosen people can serve as an arch-type of the Christian experience. One moment their focused on God the next their in idolatry and often times in captivity. Invariably God is faithful to intervene but he certainly allows us free will to do as we please.
