pantheism  

Definition

  • Pantheism may be defined as the doctrine that God is coextensive with and identical to all things. Clearly distinct from both atheism (the belief that there is no God) and panentheism (the belief that all things are suffused with God's essence, but are distinct from God),pantheism generally arises only in cultures with a fully developed religious life.
