What are the theological ramifications of worshipping or raising to sainthood an individual who followed another religion?
So, if I took a figure from history OR legend, and, for their great works, created idols of them for my own religious practices, despite that person(s) themselves having followed other religions that I do not follow, what are the religious ramifications of this? Is it offensive to the figure in question? What if I am using them as a symbol of something they did in life or legend rather than trying to follow their lifestyle exactly? Can this practice, repeated over time and generations, eventually deify the figure? Will they take on a godhood of their own?
The closest thing I can think of to this is how Hindus don't give a shit and add Jesus statues in with the rest of their statues.

It just turns you into another sub-level of retard.
Like if you envision a retard pyramid scheme, you're on the lowest level of it until you can get some people to worship you, then you're only a mid-level retard

You've never used idolatry to encourage good behavior before?

The main question is: Does using a figure as idolatry when the figure was against idolatry (as a generic christian) insult the figure?
Or does it not matter because jesus was a kike, too?

Just ask the figure for a dream or sign
