If you look at the worldful of religions, there can at most be one which isn't the result of man reverse explaining like this. C. S. Lewis put it nicely when he says that the answer of history to the query "well, what other kind of God would you believe in, if you believed in one at all" is "almost any other kind."

Well, if you look at the word of religions, it's pretty clear that mankind creates deities in its own image again and again. Some religions, of course, substitute animals as deities, but the major religions all have deities with human attributes. Some have just one. Others have several, each with a nice, neat human task to perform.
