Elohim is not a specific name, but a term that means “dieties” or “gods”.
As far as modern practicing Jews?
Possibly, in practice, dependent on what’s actually being done in any specific congregation, but the Shema indicates that at least by spoken word they don’t.
The LGBTQ Methodist church could also be called “elohim worshippers” in the way you seem to be using it. They sure ain’t worshipping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Elohim is but a descriptive name for the part of the one true supreme God’s personality that relates to justice. Hashem is another descriptive name for that same God that relates to His mercy.
Edit: The context of the specific biblical text is key to understand as to why X name is used. The multiple names are NOT multiple gods.
Correct, though “elohim” can refer to other gods (Exodus 12:12, e.g.), seraphim, etc. It effectively means “diety”. Some translations use “Elohim” and “Elohim”, which does tend to refer to God, in much the same way different translators will use “lord”, “Lord”, and “LORD”.
I don’t know for a fact if either of us is 100% correct, but pretty sure we’re both closer than that first guy. ;-)
Not the same as God the Prime Creator energy force that manifested as Christ Jesus. Now during the Ascension more humans are cultivating their Christ consciousness within physical form.
The false God/ dark lord perverted everything in order to keep humans from ever achieving their full potential as creator beings. Sowing confusion and doubt with lies, deceptions and censorship. I'd love to read the Vatican vault materials!

El as in above. Elevator. Elevate.
Plural spirits/gods above us.

Elevate is from Latin elevare. el is from Hebrew meaning “diety (singular)”.
Crossed your translation wires, there.
