What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people?
It's a personal philosophy that I've come to use as my own form of religion, and while I'm aware other people have researched the idea, I'm having some trouble finding the name for the concept.

Personification?
Edit: Anthropomorphic Personification!

This was my thought as well.
Gods exist because humans believe in them. The stronger the belief, the stronger the God.
As belief fades, so does the Deity and their power.
Yup, that's it exactly.
That works, thanks!
