Revelation 12:1-5 teaches no such thing.
Jeremiah 7:17-19 speaks of how angry God to worship called "Queen of Heaven." Would you like to provoke the wrath of God?

Protestants do not hate the Blessed Virgin. She was a wonderful godly woman.
But do not worship or bow to statues of her, or pray with her.

Most do not hate her. It must have been a great woman. However, now dead, and in the grave, knowing nothing, awaiting resurrection.

They do not. Just do not see why Catholics love their look, and consider Catholicism to be wrong about that.

OMG! Who told you the lie that the Protestants hate Mary? !
Mary is revered among Protestants by his role to put Jesus in the world. Of course, not hate.
What NOT to do is revere above maturity. If there is hostility, which is addressed to the Roman Catholic Church to elevate their status as Co-Redeemer!
Mary was chosen by the grace of carrying only begotten Son of God. And according to his own ad in the Magnificat, she recognized her own need for a Savior!

Apparently they think Catholics worship her and treat her like a goddess. Nothing could be further from the truth, but to those raised on a steady diet of Jack Chick tract and shed hate Catholics from the pulpit, could also try telling that to a brick wall.
We honor Mary to say "Yes" at the request of God, even though she knew she was risking her life when she agreed to bring Jesus into this world. We love her as the beautiful model that is Christian: loyal, loving. compassionate, and trustworthy. And we ask her maternal intercession for our needs, like any Christian believer ask others to pray for us.
But the cult to her and commit the sin of idolatry against God? Not a chance. We worship God and only him.
How many Protestants who believe that. . . Well, lotsa luck.
Edit:
About the "Co-Redeemer" of business:
That is a very controversial idea, even among Catholics, and is not an official church doctrine. It is also a much misunderstood concept.
In this case, the prefix "co" does not mean "equal". "A" with "as in" co-dependent. " Mary cooperated with God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, so it worked * with * God.
At no time is considered equal to him. No creature, regardless of purity and love, is equal to its Creator. That would be idolatry, so that Catholics worship only God.

I also think its funny how millions of dispensationalists who believe in "The Rapture" may scoff at the idea of Mary being taken to heaven, but they think they will be taken by the power of Christ, just before all the Jews , Muslims, Hindus and Catholics are "Left Behind" to be sacrificed.
The meaning of the word "worship" has changed over the centuries in Protestant lands. The Protestant sense of the word is equivalent to latria, whereas in the past meant any kind of honor. The British days to this address judges as "Your Excellency" and "Your Excellency" - and I know no one accuses them of idolatry.
Mary is the greatest of all Saints and thus imitating the Christian obedience is a way of holiness … It is Mary's obedience to God.
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
