We could never narrow down one individual who first conjured up the idea of pantheism. Many older religious traditions express pantheist thought, including Kabalistic Judaism and Hinduism. The first person to use the actual word "pantheism" was John Toland in 1705.

What is the difference between pantheism and panentheism?

Pantheism is the belief that Nature itself is divine and that God acts through the forces of Nature. All things therefore are divine.

Pantheism is a belief that holds that God is an all-encompassing presence found in the material world.

What is unique about pantheism?

"Pan" = everything; "Theos" = god. The expression thus refers to a god that is equivalent to all universe and vice versa, to the whole of the universe, that is equivalent to god. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, there are at least two major implications that make pantheism what it is, i.e. that make unique, or different from other forms of theisms and atheism in general: 1. There IS god and he is exactly the whole of the existent world. This claim differentiates pantheism from atheism which claims that there is no god at all. 2. While equivalent to the whole of the existent world, there is no god "above" the world or "above the waters" as the Bible puts it, so he could act as the outside manager of the way things are. As such, pantheist god is to be understood more like the inner law of the world which thus organises itself. This claim differentiates pantheism from the so called "transcendentalism", which claims that god is something extra to the existent world.
