The real problem with “anthropolatry”

The problem with using the term “anthropolatry,” which is used by Frithjof Schuon mainly to disparage materiality, is not that this term defines it as wrong to worship material man, rather than worshiping the spiritual exclusively---the problem comes from not seeing man as a bridge to the superman and beyond to Godhood. This minimalism stems from the general problem of Gnosticism and Revealed Religions, which have little or no interest in material evolution because they see God mainly inwardly, not as an object, which is only one aspect of God, and they do not see God as the Divine Spirit, and Form, which we must evolve to.
