"Man created God in his own image" is an example of anthropotheism.
Ludwig Feuerbach says in his famous Heidelberg "Lectures on the Essence of Religion."
- "Denn nicht Gott schuf den Menschen nach seinem Bilde, wie es in der Bibel heißt, sondern der Mensch schuf, wie ich im »Wesen des Christentums« zeigte, Gott nach seinem Bilde."
It is often shortened to "Der Mensch schuf Gott nach seinem Bilde."
In The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (1900) Freud describes how he found himself reversing the well-known text of Genesis, "God created man in his own image," into "Man created God in his."
Original German excerpt: "'Gott schuf den Menschen nach seinem Bilde' und dessen veränderte Fassung 'der Mensch schuf Gott nach dem seinigen'."
