I can't believe that nobody has brought up Chthulu fhtagn and the elder gods yet.
Or the god which is blue smoke.
I don't think having an agenda is necessarily an anthropomorphism if God is so utterly other that its motivation is totally foreign to us humans.
Just between us, I expect that humanities first contact with alien intelligences will be a visit by proselytizing reptilians who want to convert us to worship a god which looks pretty much like they do. Not anthropomorphic at all.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
