As with virtually all heterodox you are quoting a few verses out-of-context. Here is what God said about all the so-called gods of all the nations.
Psalms 96:4-5
(4) For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
(5) For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
1 Chronicles 16:25-26
(25) For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
(26) For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Psalms 115:1-7
(1) Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
(2) Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
(3) But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
(4) Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
(5) They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
(6) They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
(7) They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
If you are referring to Scripture regarding the idols used by the ancient heathens then yes they are nothing but stone and clay. Idols were used in rituals to localize those “deity’s” presence to the objects. Hence the modern term of “possessed dolls” ect. However the power behind those idols is very real. God in Exodus 12:12 makes it clear that he will execute judgement on the gods of Egypt. He’s not talking about mere idols in this case but spiritual beings.
