Tackattack is quite right when he says:
An idol is something that you worship. Christians don't worship crucifixes- crucifixes may be an aid to worship (by helping the believer focus on jesus), but thats completely different from being an idol.
There are good atheist arguments and bad atheist arguments. This is one of the latter.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
