Sure thing. I had to look up the definitiy of the word.

"Idolatry is the worship of an idol as though it were a deity. In Abrahamic religions (namely Judaism, Samaritanism, Christianity, Islam, and the Baháʼí Faith) idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than the Abrahamic God as if it were God."

If I was a believer in Abrahamic God, I'd believe idolatry is wrong because, I'd believe there's only one God and no other thing is God, so people worshipping anything else but the God I believe in would be wrong and possibly dangerous because they might mislead others from worshipping the only correct God.

God is not an idolater because he doesn't worship anything (I assume) just demands worshipping himself from his every sentient creation.

I'm curious why are you interested in answers to those questions. What do my answers tell you?
