The religious idea that God and the universe are one thing, not two. In this view, God is not a person sitting outside the world. God is present in all natural things — every tree, river, and star — or the whole universe together is what people mean by God. People who study religion set this beside other ideas: one God apart from the world, many gods, or no god. Everyday talk sometimes uses it more loosely for a strong feeling that nature itself is holy. The English word is from pan- (“all”) + theism (belief in God). It is first known from 1702, in a translation of a Latin book that coined pantheismus.
