'God is a non personified/unpersonified entity.'

What is the opposite of 'personified'?

Let me offer that question back to you.

If you explain the concept, perhaps we can suggest ways of saying what you mean.


(It's possible you're talking about an impersonal God, but that's not at all clear.)

I was asking for the concept you have in mind. Not a dictionary definition.
 
non-anthropomorphic
 
I don't know how much more clear I must become.

Obviously not. Hopefully, this is something you will learn.

Perhaps this helps (BTW, here, they use 'non personified', but I have also come across examples with 'unpersonified', so I'm confused)...

Okay, that's slightly more comprehensible.

What you are talking about with the phrase 'personified entity' is what is commonly referred to as a 'personal God'.

A clear way to say the opposite of this is 'impersonal God'. You might notice that I did say this in post #3.
