Pantheism
Pantheism is a theological belief that equates God with the universe and all that is in it. This belief system posits that God is not a personal or anthropomorphic deity, but is essentially identical with nature or the cosmos itself.
History
The term "pantheism" was coined by the Irish writer John Toland in 1705. However, elements of pantheistic thought can be traced back to ancient times, including in the philosophies of Stoicism and Neoplatonism, and in the works of Spinoza and Hegel.
Beliefs
Pantheists do not believe in a supernatural God. Instead, they believe that God is the universe and the universe is God. This belief is often expressed in the phrase "God is all and all is God." Pantheists also believe that everything in the universe is interconnected and that all things are part of the divine.
Criticism
Pantheism has been criticized by both theists and atheists. Theists often argue that pantheism is a form of atheism because it denies the existence of a personal God. Atheists, on the other hand, argue that pantheism is a form of theism because it posits the existence of a divine reality.
