You say that deity has no form but that man would have been created in God's image because man has form?All of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) believe that we humans are made in their deity's image. Those who wrote the original texts, no doubt decided this, based upon the fact that our species is the highest form of life on the planet (and that isn't saying much) and thus, due to our own inflated egos, we must certainly look like the creator.Made in God’s image. Yuk. Not me thanks.
Yahweh, it is written, created us in his image.
He is described as a vile genocidal and infanticidal god, a demiurge to us Gnostics Christians, and is responsible for a religion that has become homophobic and misogynous and who grew Christianity by inquisitions and murder.
This is not surprising given that so many of Christianity’s moral tenets are immoral. Christianity lacks moral tenets with which to convert. It takes pressure and force to believe the weird Christian take on the otherwise decent Jewish beginnings of their religion and god. Christians should have usurped some decent god as without Midrash, Yahweh is more like an evil Satan than a good god.
If you think you are created in Yahweh’s image, and able to do his evil and good deeds, are you happy about it?
If you do not think you are up to Yahweh’s evil ways, are you happy about it?

However, as these three religions only make up a portion of the religions being practiced, many religions don't have we mere humans as looking like a deity. One of the Hindu's main gods is Ganesha, a pot-bellied elephant. The king of their gods is, Indra, a four-armed male. Buddhism, while lumped with religions, is more a philosophy, without the need of a deity, although people do bring their own religion into it.
But, do we look like a deity? If there were a deity, I suspect that it would simply be a force, with no form, as we can't see it.
My personal belief, is that there are no deities.
Did I read that right?
