How do you know for certain that they are simply inventing a god in their imaginations? As a rule of thumb if the god they believe looks literally like this.

Then that's most likely going to be the human imagination at work, it just looks like us. God as in the eternal creator beyond space and time that can't be depicted by the human imagination and has a relationship with his creatures that is experiential in nature goes beyond this form of idol worship.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
