Is following any other religion considered idolatry?
#2
When it says in Genesis, "And G-d commanded upon Adam...," it means that after G-d created Adam, He commanded His authority upon him. Thus Adam and all of his descendents were forbidden (a) to rebel against G-d or against whatever they were commanded by G-d, and (b) to serve any other being or entity, real or imagined, as a g-d. Thus anyone who does not recognize and believe in the One True G-d has erred (either deliberately, or by mistake, or by being misled), and anyone who serves a physical or spiritual idol transgresses and denies G-d’s Unity and His true greatness.

The existence of the One True G-d, the knowledge of His revelation, His communication to mankind through His true prophets, and most importantly through the Torah of Moses, are matters which can be proven as fact. Still, the greatness of G-d and the depth of His Torah are beyond human understanding, so they should also be approached as matters of faith. This faith constitutes the true, G-d given religion for mankind, in which Gentiles are to serve G-d by following their Noahide Commandments within the Torah, and Jews are to serve G-d by following their Jewish commandments within the Torah.
