Reporter,
the quote you provide for us to glance at and read. These things happened similar during Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Kings I-III, and all they way to Hosea. Oldest religion they performed was Judaism. Yes, God forbid his children from doing anything abomination. The chapters from Joel to Malachi his children did numbers of things that are abomination in God's sight.
Even his children during the NT follow similar pattern as in the OT. Modern days like now people aka the Gentiles no matter the skin color is do the exact same things as the Hebrew from the past.
Nothing to do with religious belief. It's the people's heart and mind attach to earthly things that make them go paranoia frenzies
These general things that people cannot let go of: money, sexual partner, idol.
