	Naturalistic pantheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naturalistic pantheism is a form of pantheism that holds that the universe, although unconscious and non-sentient as a whole, is a meaningful focus for mystical fulfillment.
		Opponents of naturalistic pantheism allege that it constitutes an intentional misuse of terminology, and an attempt to justify atheism by mislabeling it as pantheism.
		It is widely (although not universally) accepted that the essence of mysticism within the context of pantheistic thought lies in a direct knowledge or a direct experience of god, which is in their mind readily attainable by the pantheist, considering that his or her god is all that exists.

	SEP: Pantheism
		Pantheists, like theists, tend to be "moral realists." They believe it is an objective fact that some kinds of actions are ethically right and others wrong, and what is right and wrong is independent of what any person thinks is right and wrong.
		In pantheistic terms it makes little sense to speak of the intrinsic value of a human life as measured against a standard independent of how that life affects others, since for the pantheist all such value, even so-called "intrinsic value," is partly derivative.
		Pantheistic worship might naively be thought to be a kind of self-worship; worshipping something of which one is a part or identified with.

	PantheistAge-Modern Pantheism
		Some pantheists of both dualistic and naturalistic varieties will choose to take a scientific approach, favoring empirical study and discovery as a way of relating to Nature, while others will choose a more 'mystical' path, preferring direct experience through action, art, meditation, and other methods.
		If we are speaking of naturalistic pantheism, oddly enough, the answer seems to be 'yes.' Furthermore, most forms of pantheism are compatible with agnosticism, and in fact, the three are often 'mixed and matched' in the worldviews of people who have studied these matters for some time.
		What's more, not even all naturalistic pantheists are atheistic - it is possible (although semantically complex and rather rare) to reconcile naturalistic pantheism with traditional theism.

		At the heart of pantheism is reverence of the universe as the ultimate focus of reverence, and for the natural earth as sacred.
		Scientific or Natural Pantheism - Pan for short - has a naturalistic approach which simply accepts and reveres the universe and nature just as they are, and promotes an ethic of respect for human and animal rights and for lifestyles that sustain rather than destroy the environment.
		When pantheists say WE REVERE AND CARE FOR NATURE, we mean it with just as much commitment and reverence as believers speaking about their church or mosque, or the relics of their saints.

	Nature Reverence
		Nature Reverence aspires to bring together everyone with a reverent naturalistic standpoint, whatever label they call themselves – people who celebrate life on this earth, who feel a deep attachment to and active concern for Nature and awe and wonder at the Universe, and who respect human rights, science, logic and evidence.
		The names and vocabulary vary for two major reasons: one because we vary in our levels of comfort in using the language of traditional religions and philosophies, the other because the absence of a common name has opened the field for many alternatives.
		We officially use a naturalistic vocabulary that is most widely acceptable to members, which means avoiding certain words such as God, divine, religion, church, prayer, holy and so on.

	Pantheism Section Of FAQ Misrepresents Pantheism Trene Valdrek (Reply) (7-00)
		My biggest problem is how you label all Pantheists as "they." You seem to alternate between "some pantheists" and just "pantheists." Pantheism is more complex than "thinking of the universe as a god" and there are Scientific Pantheists, Pagan Pantheists, etc. I think you should preface your Pantheism section with a clearer definition.
		I am not a Pantheist, because I don't want to be an Atheist and I have lost count of the number of times I have defended Atheism on various message boards.
		Thus, contrary to the claims of some pantheists, an additional "reverence" for the planet (or the universe) is not needed.
