Anthropopathy

Anthropopathy (Greek &alpha;&nu;&theta;&rho;&omega;&pi;&omicron;&sigmaf;, anthropos, "human", &pi;&alpha;&theta;&omicron;&sigmaf;, pathos, "suffering") is the attribution of human emotion to a non-human being, generally a god.

The term anthropomorphism refers to non-humans taking human shape, rather than emotion. This term may encompass both meanings in common usage.
