A pantheistic argument.
#69
RE: A pantheistic argument.
Quote: I thought that there were pantheists who label the universe as "god" without believing that it is intelligent.

Some pantheist, like Albert Einstein, did that. Einstein even believed that the concept of a personal, intelligent god was "childish".

Others, like Fichte, didn't. Fichte thought that god, or the universe, was an intelligent source of moral laws.

There have been many debates between "naturalistic pantheists" (the ones closer to atheism) and "theistic pantheists" (who believe in an intelligent universe).

Even prominent atheists, such as Richard Dawkins himself, have rercognized that naturalistic pantheism and atheism are different labels for the same philosophical approach. Dawkins has called pantheism "sexed-up atheism".
