Anthropolater

/ˌænθroʊpəˈleɪtər/ noun

Definition

A person who worships humanity or human beings as divine; one who practices anthropolatry.

Etymology

From Greek 'anthropos' (human) + 'latres' (worshipper, one who serves). The term describes a specific religious or philosophical attitude toward humanity.

Kelly Says

Anthropolaters believe humans are divine or perfect, but history shows that's dangerous—it's led to dehumanization of 'lesser' people and the justification of terrible things.
