The trouble with pantheism is that, in trying to equate the word 'god' with the word 'universe', it does a disservice to both concepts.  As Jesster said, we already have a perfectly good word that means 'universe' ('universe') and a perfectly good word that means 'nebulous concept of a supranatural entity who will punish you forever if you fuck the wrong person' ('god').  I see no value in trying to muck up this arrangement.
