According to Ludwig Feuerbach (The Essence of Christianity), the term
"God" refers to the traits envisioned as good in/by humans (wisdom,
strength, uniqueness, longevity, beauty, etc.) crystallized,
absolutized, and amalgamated together into a single composite persona
possessing them all absolutely.
