Hence, as Mr. Fiske has shown in detail, so soon as anthropomorphism has assumed its highest state of development, it begins to be replaced by a continuous growth of 'deanthropomorphism,' which, passing through polytheism into monotheism, eventually ends in a progressive 'purification' of theism -- by which is meant a progressive metamorphosis of the theistic conception, tending to remove from Deity the attributes of Humanity.
Mind and Motion and Monism George John Romanes 1871
