Is there any mythology that aknowleges any/all of the following?:

A) Humans are not living in or near the center of the universe

B) Humans are insignificant to the scale of the universe

C) The deities that rule the universe are not anthropomorphic

I can't think of any. It seems to me that if there is any common ground upon which all religions/cults/systems of belief stand, it is unrealistically elevating the importance of humanity.


Any exceptions?

It's been a LONG time since I read up on this, but if I recall correctly, Queztecoatl was not anthropomorphic. He was a serpent god.

I may be mistaken, though.

As for the rest of it, I don't believe there have been.
