anthropomorphism  

Definition

  • Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human qualities—specifically, complex emotions, reasoning, and motives—to anything that is not human. Most religions describe the divine in human terms, even though divinity is defined as something inherently beyond the human. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Anthropomorphism]
