Shirk in non-pagan times

Peace brother Joseph,
According to the Quran there is emphasis on shirk as the worst evil. Would it still be applicable in our present non-pagan times?

We are not in the midst of a Prophet today. So the level of clarity that a Prophet of God can deliver is absent. However, that is not to say that clarity will not be manifested to anyone God wills by other means that He deems fit.
The emphasis of curtailing 'shirk' (partners with God) applies as much to today's Muslims as it does to say Hindu's.
The remit of 'shirk' is quite wide from a Quran's perspective and is not simply restricted to the worshipping of idols.
I humbly encourage you to read the following articles below. It will not only expand on the meaning of 'shirk' from a Quran's perspective, but God willing, it will also look at today's Muslim practices in light of the practices and tendencies of the Quraish of old.
IDOLATRY ACCORDING TO THE QURAN

ARE SOME 'MUSLIMS' OF TODAY ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE QURAISH (MUSHRIKEEN) OF OLD?

I hope that helps.
