dead ancestors may not count as 'non-human', depending on your metric.
Same for most gods, given the degree to which they were anthropomorphized. (In fact, the Bhagavad-Gita talks about how Hindus need to anthropomorphize in order to give "personal loving devotion to Lord Krishna". [Quote from a commentary])
... which would imply that the reality is not anthropomorphic but empathising with it is a good thing.
