And while we are on the subject, why invent new gods when celebrity "god"/stars are proffered for consumption? "Secular" people often "worship" many things today that are not traditionally considered "Gods"...money, power, fame, rich/powerful/famous individuals etc.

I don't worship them either. Don't generalize.
Well of course you don't but look at the current cultural trends whether directly supported by mass interest or proffered by mass media for public consumption.

Without something of true lasting substance, what recourse do people have but to cling to the temporal icons offered in dramatic fashion?

There are always individual outliers and it's wonderful to meet you!...but the masses are not called that for nothing and herd mentality is evolutionary.
