How does fallen humanity view God according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Fallen humanity tends to suppress the truth of God and often creates idols or false images in place of the true God.

The Bible reveals that fallen humanity, in its depravity, often rejects the knowledge of the true God in favor of creating idols from their imagination. Romans 1:23 points out that rather than honoring God, they change His glory into images resembling corruptible man and creatures. This illustrates the profound blindness and foolishness of a heart darkened by sin. Instead of acknowledging the Creator, humanity constructs gods that cater to their sensibilities, leading to idol worship. This tendency to fabricate a god of our own understanding is a clear demonstration of the effects of sin and the desperate state of humankind apart from divine grace. Therefore, understanding human nature's inclination to idolatry calls Christians to uphold the truth of God’s revelation in Christ.
