(ψευδολατρεία , from ψεῦδος, falsehood, and λατρεία , service) designates a false worship, of which the Christian writers, vho seem to have first formed this word, accused the pagans, on account of their polytheism. Pseudolatry has also penetrated into the Christian Church; for where we find the worship of images (iconolatry, or idolatry), there is pseudolatry likewise.
