Depends on how one defines ‘worship” doesn’t it.. do you kneel down to it? Does it have spiritual value “..Do you pray before it? Do you light candles in front of it? ..All honors that belong solely to God??
The Jews believed the golden calf represented God when they celebrated it ...
Golden calves are pretty common in rome today

None of the above. I enjoy reading about it, as obviously many others do. Maybe you should avoid shroud threads if they offend you religiously.

If I kneel down in front of my bed to pray, does this mean I am worshiping my bed?

The Jews believed the golden calf represented God Please try to find a bible and read it for once:
Exodus 32:8 "They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, 'This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!' "
They didn't think the calf represented God. They thought the calf was a god. Nobody thinks the shroud is God or a god. So you've missed the mark once again.
