From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthropopathy (Greek ανθρωπος, anthropos, "human", παθος, pathos, "suffering") is the attribution of human emotion to a non-human being, generally a god.

By comparison, the term anthropomorphism originally referred to the attribution of human form to a non-human being -- although in modern usage, anthropomorphism has come to encompass both meanings.
