Creating God in Our Own Image | Projection, Power & Belief

Did humanity create God in its own image?

In this episode, we explore the powerful philosophical claim that our concept of God reflects human psychology, cultural structures, and moral aspirations. Instead of assuming that God shaped humanity, we examine the reverse possibility: that divine attributes mirror human fears, ideals, and power systems.

Why do different cultures imagine God differently?
Does the image of God evolve alongside society?
And if belief is projection, does that make it false — or simply human?

This discussion moves through philosophy of religion, anthropology, psychology, and theology to analyze whether God is revelation, construction, or something in between.
