More specifically, scientific pantheism. They don't believe in a supernatural creator and focus on science and caring for mother earth. I don't see anything about worshiping any type of god, personal or otherwise.

I lean toward the idea of pantheism, that God is everything there is. I also think that there might be such a thing as cosmic consciousness or universal awareness and that we are extensions of that.

It is important IMO to keep in mind that the word “God” is nothing but a symbol or icon for ultimate reality, which we humans can not detect or understand with our space/time/matter model. It is silly to argue over something when we haven’t the slightest idea of what we are talking about.

There really is an ultimate reality beyond the sense-world however. That has been universally understood by physicists since the days of Faraday and Maxwell.

Tell me more. What do you mean when you say you totally relate to everything you've read on it?

I was a practicing pagan(witch) for many years, with an eclectic mix of God’s/goddesses from many mythologies. I never saw them as gods, but as natural forces.

since i am an atheist, why in the world would i be more receptive to believing in lots of gods than to believing in only one? i am not receptive to any kind of theism, mono- or pan-.

Why does there need to be a belief system? I love and celebrate nature, but do not need to bend a knee...to what?

I can relate to the idea. I think it's the new name for animism, which goes back a long way so it seems people are looking back in time because they've reached dead ends with modern thinking. I have Rupert Sheldrake to thank for anything I hear about it.

Wasn't Pan the guy with cloven hooves who played the pipes ?

If it means that “god” is a metaphor for all of existence, then I’m totally in sync with that. If it is interpreted to mean that the universe is a sentient being, then no. What impression do you get from your reading? I haven’t read much past Wikipedia.

Pantheism, from the Concise Oxford Dictionary 6th edition 1986, "Doctrine that God is everything and everything God".

It's bollocks.

I am A-theist and reject the belief or idea of ANY gods, however you want to define them, as absurd.
