Idols are representations of gods and therefore evidence of religious observance. The idols themselves do no harm and are sacred to those who follow their religion. However some, fortunately a very small minority, see any evidence of a religion other than their own as something to be despised. They vent their intolerance and try to influence others who would prefer to ignore the idols, thus poisoning the community.
So the effect of idols on the broader community is indirect, but unfortunately it happens.
