Since people who are not saved worship him, they beleive him. So in thier hearts, he is God. So he stands in the temple of God as though he is God, he is an abomination that leads to desolation, as anyone who takes his mark or worships his image goes to the fire as the angel proclaims in Revelation.
There is no coming back if you take the mark or worship his image, the sacrifice (Christ) is taken away.
Where all men of sin in the same manner as Judas, Judas bears no difference to anyone else except that it is sealed that he die/died in his sins, thats why he is called a son of perdition.
The wicked one in thess is one who does the operations of saan, who recieve everything from satan, satan is worshipped through the man of sin.
Man of sin is the one described in the best of the sea who all will worship, so the dragon, satan, is worshipped by manner of through him just as scripture says.
Man itself individually or together is not the man of sin, we dont worship each other, we may worship ourselves and some their idols ext, but we dont worship one singular person over all else in which all other men do also.
Also those with the mark or worship the image are destined for the LoF, if men itself were the man of sin described in those scriptures, none of us would be able to accept Christ's sacrifice.
