The omniverse is an astronomical, quantum mechanics, theoretical or philosophical view (or definition) on “all of existence” or “all existent universes”. It is both atheistic and theistic, yet it’s neither of these. The idea of an omniverse offers a more basic and expansive definition of existence, this [...]

The omniverse is a quantum physics, or philosophical view (or definition) on “all of existence”. It is both atheistic and theistic, yet it’s neither of these. It is what a Classical Pantheist would consider a god, yet not [...]
This is another point of common confusion today, due to limited “definitions” on the parts of theists and atheists alike.
People assume creation happened once.
The Theists credit God to have created everything in the universe once, in some instances god may be creating things now, but in general, God creates withing the universe based on [...]

When I researched Pantheism I found that before the rise of Scientific Pantheism, pantheism used terms as the universe, cosmos, “all there is”, divine, “one thing”, “one Being”, or God.
The term Omniverse is relatively modern physics term. I found the term Omniverse to be much more suitable to describe “all that is” (whether known or [...]
Panthesim is META-theism, META meaning: beyond, outside and above ordinary theism. A Pantheist views the Omniverse as a spiritual unity, which could be equated to the idea of the one theistic god but is better understood beyond and above the ordinary accepted understanding of theism.
Some similarities [...]

The Omniverse was never created. It is everything there is, infinite and eternal (as energy/matter is not created only changed) You could think of what we call “our universe” as something that was created, via a big-bang etc, our universe might/likely have had a beginning.
Most if not all theists believe in the existence of a [...]
Pantheism is not theistic in today’s sense of the word, it is META-theism, META meaning: beyond, outside and above ordinary theism. A Pantheist views the Omniverse as a spiritual unity, which could be equated to the idea of the one theistic god but is better understood beyond and above the ordinary accepted [...]
Pantheism offers a philosophical view of life and existence itself. It has no holy books or sacred teachings. Humans have the choice to do good or evil. There is no heaven or hell. The life of humans here and now is what it is, we could make it heaven or hell.
Respect for life in all [...]
The term “pantheist” was used first by an Irish writer named John Toland in 1705. He defined a pantheist as one who beleives:
in no other eternal being but the universe
This is a simple definition that describes both scientific pantheism and classical/mystical pantheism.
No. A lot of confusion exists between pantheism and panentheism. Here’s a clarification:
Pantheism: “God is the whole”. God is synonymous with the Omniverse. The Omniverse is practically the whole itself, the one itself. If you have to use the word god in Pantheism then the omniverse and god are coextensive.
Panentheism: “The whole is in God”. [...]
Yes, by examining the excerpt from wikipedia below discussing non-dualism and monism you’ll find that pantheism (which is monotheistic) is non-dualism.
The philosophical concept of monismis similar to nondualism. Some forms of monism hold that all phenomena are actually of the same substance. Other forms of monism including attributive monism and idealism are similar concepts to [...]
Yes but not exactly:
1- If you examine the definition of Monism, below, you’ll find that Pantheism is monotheistic.
Monism: Any philosophical system asserting the essential unity of things, i.e., that all things belong to one category – material (materialism), mental (idealism), spiritual (pantheism), or some other essence. Monism is contrasted with the various kinds of dualism. [...]
Many confuse Theism/Atheism/Pantheism and Deism. I’ve even seen deists contradict their own definition of God’s intervention in their world (i.e. miracles & personal relationship with God) . This article will define Deism to clarify how it differs from Theism and other “ism’s”:
Let’s start with these definitions:
deist – a person who believes that God created the universe and then [...]

Judaism, Christianity and Islam view God as The eternal being who created the universe and all there is. They attribute these properties to God:

No, this credo is a very good document however, in his book Elements of Pantheism, Paul Harrison states:
The Pantheist Credo is not like the creed of any brand of Christianity. There is no compulsion to agree to it. Basically it is intended as a succinct statement for members of the World Pantheist Movement, and a [...]
Pantheists do not believe in a theistic (supernatural, creator, conductor, personal) God. Despite this, Scientific Pantheists use the term god to refer to the Universe and Nature its entirety. Classical Pantheists use the term god to refer to the Omniverse in its entirety and all the nature found in the Omniverse.
Many Scientific and Classical Pantheists [...]
