(1) A doctrine identifying the Deity with the universe and its phenomena. (2) Belief in and worship of all Gods.
The belief that God, nature, and the universe are the same.
the belief that God constitutes the whole of reality and that everything in nature, including individual persons, are modes or aspects of God's being
belief that god or god(s) are nature See monotheism, polytheism, Trinity
The belief that the universe is 'God'. Spinoza was a pantheist. Pantheists usually don't think the universe is conscious, but they often worship it. Ancient religions were often pantheistic.
An incorrect worldview in which everything is God - ie, the rocks are God, that tree is God, you and I are God. From Greek "pan" = all. Not to be confused with panentheism or monism.
a doctrine that there is no God but the combined forces and laws that are manifested in the existing universe; bits of Godliness in all aspects of Nature; God not anthropomorphized or given attributes of personality, but as immanent in natural workings of the universe. According to pantheist Spinoza, God was "one infinite sustance"; in Greek mythology, Pan was a deity who was lord of flocks; because he pounced on people, he created "pan-ic"; Catholics equated Pan with the devil, and term "pantheism" acquired a perjorative meaning.
the doctrine that God is in all things.
The belief that all is God.
Basically a belief that all gods are part of one greater encompassing Deity.
the belief that the divine is in all things and is equated with the totality of all
(rare) worship that admits or tolerates all gods
the doctrine or belief that God is the universe and its phenomena (taken or conceived of as a whole) or the doctrine that regards the universe as a manifestation of God
The belief in many deities who are really joined one, all as aspects of a supreme life source. Paganism is pantheistic.
an understanding which identifies God and the world as one, either without qualification, or with the world as a divine emanation, body, development, appearance, or modality.
The idea that god and the world are inseparable -- God is all, and all is god. The most important, and emphasized, implication of this is that we (being of the same substance) are gods as well. This view originates in the Eastern religious traditions and plays heavily into the New Age worldview as well.
the worldview stating that all of reality is comprised of a single being, i.e., God.
The belief that the universe and god are one and the same: god has no existence independent of the universe, and therefore cannot be its creator. There is no divine purpose, and everything is a component of the greater whole. Pantheism in its pure form is a philosophical concept, and not a religion. Cosmic pantheism and Acosmic pantheism describe attributes of a particular religion. Some religious movements wrongly identify themselves as pantheistic, misinterpreting pantheism as animism.
A belief that equates God with nature or the substance and forces of the universe. Thus, it denies the existence of a rational, intelligent God. Rather, it asserts that God is everything and every thing is God.
The doctrine which holds that the universe is identical with God; the reduction of God to the universe, or of the universe to God.

the belief that God and nature are identical; that the universe is an extension of God’s essence (as opposed to the universe being a special creation of a transcendent God).
Belief that God equates to the universe, and vice versa.
The belief that the universe is identical to a god.
the worship of many gods. Pantheists often worship gods of different creeds, cults, or cultures. Some pantheists believe that the universe is itself God: in this view, there is no God except for the forces and laws of natural phenomena.
God is all things. The universe and all life are connected in a sum. This sum is the total reality of God. Thus, man, animals, plants, and all physical matter are seen as equal. The assumption—all is one, therefore all is deity.
(Greek ~ pan "all") A doctrine that God is ALL. The sum total of everything that exists. Includes animate and inanimate, all celestial bodies, and that humans are manifestations of God, as is all emotions, good and evil; and so on.
belief that god equals the totality of nature.
("all is God") Pantheism identifies the universe with God. This can obviously take many forms; compare the pantheism of Spinoza and Einstein, in which the God/universe is impersonal, with Hinduism, in which the universe and everything in it are personified.
The belief that God is the universe and all that comprises it: laws, motion, matter, energy, consciousness, life, etc. It denies that God is a person and is self aware.
Doctrine that identifies God with the whole uni-verse, every particle, tree, table, animal, and person being part of Him.
Pantheism is the belief that the universe and god are one and the same, i.e., that the universe itself is god.
the belief that all reality is essentially divine, i.e., that there is no distinction between the creator and the creation. See also Henotheism, Monism, Monotheism and Polytheism.
Pantheism (Greek: πάν ( 'pan' ) = all and θεός ( 'theos' ) = God) literally means "God is All" and "All is God". It is the view that everything is of an all-encompassing immanent God; or that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that natural law, existence, and the universe (the sum total of all that is, was, and shall be) is represented or personified in the theological principle of 'God'.
