When I became born again I cleansed my house of all pictures that depicted Christ. When I was "religious" I thought I was being spiritual by having a picture, it was after I became born again I was appalled by them.
In the days gone by, movies about Christ never showed the face of the man portraying Him.
Those who practice "religion" love articles they can look at to maintain their faith, they are actually faithless without idols.
John 4:24
"24 God is [a]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Matthew 16:4 "4 A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away. "
Those who lack faith must see things with their eyes and touch things with their hands to have faith, but it's not faith at all.
Hebrews
"11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
"Things not seen", when we trust Christ and believe His Word, we don't need to continually see something to maintain strong faith, just the opposite, we walk by faith every single day whether or not there is anything unusual happening.
