Aquinas and others have not anthropomorphized God. For centuries, at least among Christians, God is believed to be divinely simple, the only necessary being, a being whose existence is His essence, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He exists outside of space and time and has no parts.

I don't know of any human who has these characteristics. The idea that God is an old man with a long gray beard is just a pale imitation that some artists have resorted to and most atheists utilize as a strawman for their faulty arguments.

[...] a being whose existence is His essence, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent

You forgot: Omnibenevolent.

Or did you?
