I don't know of many (read: Any) mainstream Gods that aren't imagined in some form to resemble man or animals, the very things that have been present since the inception of deism.
As for those that aren't; It's human nature from a socio-evolutionary point of view to empathize with fellow beings, this in turn, I posit, leads to inanimate objects being anthropomorphized. Thinking bad weather is 'angry' and the sun's light to be 'benevolent'. It's this kind of thinking that leads to the belief that elements of nature are endowed with spirits, as thought by numerous hunter-gatherer tribes still present in the world today.
I believe this covers all notions of Gods and supernatural beings that have the form of man, animals or formless spirits to be explainable ends of the human psyche and observed qualities of the world.
