There are alternatives to anthropomorphism…
The Anthropomorphic Fallacy (also called anthropomorphism) is our tendency to attribute human emotions and characteristics to inanimate objects and aspects of nature, such as plants, animals, the weather, planets, moons, stars, universes and/or dimensions.

One is guilty of the anthropomorphic bias, however, when one stretches this kind of reasoning too far – when one sees a single or limited number of things that remind him of humanlike behavior and then jumps to the conclusion that the entity in question possesses a humanlike mind. An example that is a bit more obvious and egregious is when people conclude that ghosts are the cause of unexplained noises or motions. Although this invokes the mystery therefore magic fallacy, it also includes ascribing humanlike agency to something that does not have it: the cause of the noise or motion..
“Anthropomorphism is, of course, literally wrong. But, it is also a natural cognitive attitude, grounded in the human biology and consisting in many natural inclinations that lead human beings to consider a certain individual in the world as a person, no matter if that individual actually is a rational agent, or not. As above argued for, anthropomorphism can be considered as a frugal heuristics both for everyday life and the scientific explanation.”

– “We Charge Genocide“, a petition describing genocide,
by the U.S. government against African Americans, is delivered to the United Nations.
Blessings we bestow upon one another, a nod, wink, hug, touch or a kind word… are more important than prayer and more essential than worship. The rest is commentary, art, science or fiction…

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.”
― Anais Nin
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.
One word of truth outweighs the world.”
“Hold On” by @tomwaits from the album ‘Mule Variations,’ 1999
