| | Pantheism |
 | | Worship and prayer are not consonant with pantheism. | | | The pantheist's relation to the divine Unity does not entail the obliteration of self or liberation that a Buddhist's identification with Brahman does; nor is it like the theistic mystic's union with God. | | | According to pantheism it is (of course) the pantheistic "God" (i.e. |

| | Spinoza, the first modern pantheist, believed that there was only one substance in the universe, and that was God. | | | Pantheists believe that the universe itself is the prime focus for reverence. | | | Certainly a few sects of Pantheists (like Tantric Buddhists and some pantheistic Christian heresies have believed this. |

| | The Religions of Varia: The Panetheon |
| | Pantheists hope their spirits will go there when they die and dwell in the gardens of the Gods, but the Death Goddess is said to imprison evildoers atop a mountain, naked and freezing, made to suffer as their victims suffered in life. | | | Pantheists tend to be open-minded, accepting new ideas as just another part of the Gods' world they didn't know about before, and they are tolerant of other religions. | | | Though there are Pantheist Gods without number, very few Pantheists know the names and aspects of more than the Nineteen major gods; most Pantheists only reliably remember the names of the Gods most relevant to their lifestyles. |

| | Religious Movements Homepage: Scientific Pantheism |
| | All pantheists believe that the universe is divine. | | | In other words, Pantheistic views free people of the fear of death because it acknowledges and affirms that there is a reunion with nature, the cosmos, and humanity's divine mother upon death. | | | When Pantheists "pray," therefore, they are actually worshipping and meditating to themselves, nature, and in a natural setting within this all-encompassing, omnipotent entity that we commonly refer to as "the universe." Everything is a part of nature and is made up of the same substance. |

| | AN INTRODUCTION TO PANTHEISM |
| | And pantheists will generally deny this, because it would require that the divine universe has or is a single mind, and that would amount to saying that the universe is a divine person, an idea most modern pantheists would prefer to abandon. | | | Pantheists are clearly quite impressed by beauty in nature, and infer from this beauty that nature itself is worthy of our reverence and respect. | | | The charge that the pantheist divinity is a "universal wet blanket" seems to boil down to the charge that pantheists do not accept the view that the divinity literally loves us as a parent would. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pantheism |
| | The pantheist quite overlooks the fact that religion means obedience to Divine law; and of this obedience there can be no question in a system which denies the freedom of man's will. | | | These agree in the fundamental doctrine that beneath the apparent diversity and multiplicity of things in the universe there is one only being absolutely necessary, eternal, and infinite. | | | In point of fact, however, it makes void the attributes which belong essentially to the Divine nature For the pantheist God is not a personal Being. |

| | Pantheists (New Agers) believe that the Creation is God, and that since they are a part of Creation, that they too are God, or gods. | | | The fact that we are overwhelmed by the universe and the beauty of nature does not make us New Age pantheists -- this is strange logic indeed. | | | New Covenant Church of God: FAQ34 - Are Christians Pantheists? |

| | Pantheists do not propose belief in a deity; rather, they hold nature itself as a creative presence. | | | The Universal Pantheist Society was the first organization to recognize Pantheism as a religion (organized under U.S. 501(c)(3) statutes). | | | There is a wonderful, fulfilling, and creative diversity among Pantheists, but all are united in the our knowledge that the Cosmos is divine and the Earth is sacred. |

| | Third, to create a network of Pantheist “facilitators” who will be able to perform legal weddings and funerals, so that Pantheists will be able to have ceremonies that harmonise with their beliefs, instead of being forced to use the priests of other religions or to have a straight civil ceremony. | | | Many Pantheists were raised in a traditional Christian religious family, as I was. | | | Their religious options would be limited to those religions or sects which are prepared to organise. |

| | Organizing pantheists has proved a challenge because many pantheists, by definition, are wary of all forms of organized religion. | | | The World Pantheist Movement adopted a credo, but, hoping to avoid the pitfalls of more dogmatic religions, doesn't require assent to it for members to join. | | | To complicate the issue, pantheism overlaps with other spiritual traditions -- Shinto, Zen, Taoism, pagan and other earth-based spiritualities espouse pantheistic views of the universe. |

| | Are You a Pantheist? (Promo) Anjula Razdan |
| | Although pantheistic philosophy dominated antiquity, influencing everything from Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism to Western philosophies like Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and Epicureanism, it was eclipsed for some 1,200 years by the spread of Christianity and Islam. | | | Believing that the universe itself is divine, pantheists have no use for a personal, anthropomorphic God, much less supernatural realms like heaven and hell. | | | But pantheism waned in the first half of the 20th century as a new faith in the power of technology took center stage; but mounting environmental problems and the recent expansion of movements like deep ecology have granted pantheism a renaissance of sorts. |

| | Pantheism |
| | Most Pantheists don't believe in an afterlife in a supernatural manner, but death itself is part of the divine natural cycles of the Universe. | | | Natural/Scientific Pantheists don't believe in a god, so to speak, but that nature itself, as a magnificent, almost magical, awe-inspiring creator and destroyer, is to be revered. | | | The Universe itself and everything in it is holy and divine, and is revered by Pantheists. |

| | A Pantheist is not an idolater of any man-made object - no book, no nation, no church, o prophet, no anthropomorphic deity, nor any doctrine or creed. | | | Pantheism is a life style, not a system of belief. | | | Pantheists derive their fundamental religious experiences through their personal relationship with the Universe, seeking to improve their relationship with the natural world as their fundamental religious responsibility. |

| | onegoodmove: Atheists and Pantheists |
| | Well an atheist is a person who believes there is no god, while a pantheist believes that god is present in everything. | | | Anyway we were talking and she said, "what about the rest of your family, what do they think of your atheism, or are they all atheists too." I said it wasn't a big deal around our house, I' am related to a few believers, but remarked that my brother was a pantheist. | | | The Ninth Circuit Court's decision that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is an unwarranted mingling of church and state is shocking for reasons unrelated to the law. |
