Bardolatry

1. When a person, frequently a teacher, refers to Shakespeare as if he's God.

2. Less frequently, taking the name of Shakespeare in vain.

'Shakespeare is the greatest writer ever. He literally changed the way we all look at the world.'
'Man, did you hear that? That's some serious bardolatry. If you ask me Shakespeare was gay.'
'Jones, did you just take the name of Shakespeare in vain?'
