Hello all. \m/

Or then there are the atheists who were pantheistic until they pulled their heads out their asses (me for instance)

Good job, you win a trophy.
I just think nature is cool, alright? I assure you that doesn't mean my head is anywhere near my ass.

Nope. Not for me anyways. Pantheism can mean several different things, but the one thing that ties it together is a reverence for nature. Some theistic pantheists say that god is equivalent to the universe, while atheistic or "natural" pantheists simply say that nature as it is, without a controlling conscious force, is a marvel to behold.

I agree nature is a marvel to behold, but that doesn't mean I'm a pantheist, it just means I think nature is marvellous. Again, seems pointless to identify yourself with to me.

There are probably quite a few atheists who lean towards a pantheistic worldview without even realizing it.

Or they just think nature is marvellous, and don't identify with a wishy washy label like pantheism, which to me seems to be mutually exclusive with atheism anyway. But there you go.

Agnostic atheist, I am on awe of the universe on a daily basis.

Welcome.
