| - Pantheism is the belief that all of reality is logically eqivelant to a deity.
- The belief that God is the Universe. People who believe this go to Hell.
- Pantheism is the belief that, if God could be a Panther, God could just as easily be anything else in existence. Pantheists tend to believe that Panthers are the stupidest things in the universe, and have therefore earned the contempt of every beer-drinking blowhard in the Carolinas. Pantheists tend to be notoriously pansexual, with a preference phor phrying pans. Phun!
- Pantheism (Greek: (pan) = all and θεός (theos) = God, literally "God is all" -ism) is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing immanent God. In pantheism, the Universe (Nature) and God are considered equivalent and synonymous. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that God is better understood as an abstract principle representing natural law, existence, and the Universe (the sum total of all that was, is and shall be), rather than as an anthropomorphic entity.
- Pantheism is a theological theory which equates God with the Universe. Often characterized as "Nature worship", it has been equally attacked by theists as being Atheism in disguise, and by atheists as being theism in disguise. Because of this ambiguity, it has also served as a label applied to many scientists of questionable religiousity, but who clearly had a spiritual reverence for nature, such as Albert Einstein and Carl Sagan. Many east Asian religions have strong Pantheistic leanings, with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism all exhibiting substantial forms. Pantheist leanings appear in even the earliest texts of Buddhism and Hinduism, but the roots of the Western form are basically Older Than Steam.
- Pantheism is the belief that divinity permeates the world or that God is everything, and everything is God; God is synonymous with the universe. Pantheism is a very naturalistic philosophy whose followers put emphasis on Nature and the Earth. God is usually understood as being a more abstract idea, instead of actually being an anthropomorphic deity. This article is a stub. You can help WikiPagan by [ expanding it].
- Pantheism is the belief that everything that exists is part of God. This makes it difficult to see how God exists as a separate entity. There are many different types of pantheism. 1.
* Some types of pantheism see the natural universe as God and can be summarised as Atheism with a bit of reverence thrown in. 2.
* Other types of pantheism believe that consciousness and/or other god-like qualities permeate the universe. This is Faith based and different from atheism, there is a further problem. Are the bad things in existence part of God? Is evil part of God?

| - Pantheism is the belief that all of reality is logically eqivelant to a deity.
- Pantheism is the belief that divinity permeates the world or that God is everything, and everything is God; God is synonymous with the universe. Pantheism is a very naturalistic philosophy whose followers put emphasis on Nature and the Earth. God is usually understood as being a more abstract idea, instead of actually being an anthropomorphic deity. Pantheism should not be confused with Panentheism which states that God exists and that every part of Nature is a part of God. In Panentheism, God is not synonymous with Nature. The best way to remember the difference is by remembering that in Pantheism Nature is God" but in Panentheism, "Nature is a part of God." This article is a stub.

Many east Asian religions have strong Pantheistic leanings, with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism all exhibiting substantial forms. Pantheist leanings appear in even the earliest texts of Buddhism and Hinduism, but the roots of the Western form are basically Older Than Steam. Modern variations include Panentheism (which tries to bring back some of the theism by saying God is the Universe but also exists transcendant to it, and Pandeism (which incorporates Deism to saying God has become the Universe). There are significant divisions among Pantheists, based on how they view the essential nature of the revered universe.
* Monist Physicalist (or Naturalistic) Pantheism: Only believes in the proven or material, but reveres it; generally views the world mechanically. Represented by the World Pantheist Movement.
* Monist Idealist Pantheism: Only believes in the mental (i.e. panpsychism) and sees consciousness as the fundamental reality; tends to give credence to mental powers.
* Dualist Pantheism: Believes in both the physical and the spiritual, with varying bias towards either side. Perhaps the driving force behind the Universal Pantheist Society.
* Monist Neutral Pantheism and various other offshoots reject all of the above categories, but have minuscule followings due to sheer vagueness or specificity, and have not been substantially developed.
