If you don't get it I'm not sure I can explain it. If you really feel significant emotions for Kate Winslett, then I would not throw away a picture of her in front of you. I also would not throw away anything with a representation of the Virgin Mary in front of a Catholic, but that doesn't mean I attach the same significance to those as you or a Catholic do.
And by "significant emotions" I mean that Kate Winslett has somehow changed your life for the better and is something you revere above all else. I don't mean you have a crush on her.
Religion is more than just a passing belief or fancy for most that follow any particular religion. The worshippers truly believe in their very depths in what they study. If they didn't they wouldn't be of that religion. In other words, religion is a very personal issue, and by denigrating any part of anyone's religion you are, in essence, denigrating them. (I am using the generic 'you' not the personal, so I am not implying anyone here. I could also have used 'we'.)
Your feelings for a particular person, whether a celebrity or anyone else, is also personal, but not deeply rooted in how you identify yourself. You will most likely move to liking another at some point in your life.
I think I'm rambling so I'll shut up now.
