Anthropotheism

/ˌænθroʊpoʊˈθiːɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A philosophical belief that God or the divine has human qualities, or that humanity itself is divine.

Etymology

From 'anthropos' (human) + 'theism' (belief in God). This term describes blending human and divine characteristics, related to humanism's elevation of human value.

Kelly Says

Anthropotheism is the idea that if God exists, He must be somewhat human-like, or conversely, that humans have a divine spark within them. It bridges the gap between humanism and religion.
