to deny Him attributes...

from nahjul balaghah, sermon 1. Click on the image to open it in a new window.

* the level "all humans, here & below" refers primarily to those who are not athiest, all humans who have an innate appreciation for some Higher Power who has control. Athiests too have this, but override it -- they refuse to acknowledge it despite the lack of a cohesive alternative. Often they will deify the "laws of nature", science or various other concepts as the source of the order in the world, without accepting a higher creator of these rules. Whether or not this indirectly counts as acknowledging Him remains a point of debate.
