ABSTRACT
The tendency to attribute human form and personality to God is known as anthropomorphic thinking. Some have asserted that Christianity is essentially an anthropomorphic and a materialistic religion, in the sense that the spiritual and the material are inseparable. The change in quality of thinking about an aspect of the deity can be described as a move from a human to a superhuman emphasis. Children do appear to have a real sense of the omnipresence of God and in certain questions of the test this fact was especially evident. The decisive age of twelve to thirteen may not represent the natural division between crude and higher thinking about God's nature. The picture of God reflected by Infant children is very crudely physical of a man, with the physical characteristics of a human being, clad in clothes, usually Palestinian, invariably bearded and fairly old.
