Atheist believe there is no god/gods, pantheism believes everything is god. Technically one can be both an atheist and a pantheist if one believes that everything is sacred/holy but not god (as some radical environmentalists do).

The category would be called religion or creed.
Nontheism is a broader term that encompasses any belief system that does not involve a belief in a god or gods. Atheism specifically refers to the lack of belief in a god or gods. In other words, atheism is a type of nontheism, but not all nontheists are necessarily atheists.
Monotheism is the practice of believing in one god, polytheism in two or more gods. pantheism believing in gods in everything, atheism believing in no god.
Monotheism.Monotheism. An alternate, the belief in the existence of several gods, is called polytheism (multigods), pantheism (gods in everything). Another alternate is atheism, the belief in no god or gods.
Pantheism identifies God as the universe. He believes in pantheism. Pantheism is a fairly rare doctrine.
Proponents of agnostic atheism do not believe in any particular deity because they feel it is impossible to know whether such beings exist. Nihilists feel that there is no point to life. These are completely different world views.
"Pan" = everything; "Theos" = god. The expression thus refers to a god that is equivalent to all universe and vice versa, to the whole of the universe, that is equivalent to god. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, there are at least two major implications that make pantheism what it is, i.e. that make unique, or different from other forms of theisms and atheism in general: 1. There IS god and he is exactly the whole of the existent world. This claim differentiates pantheism from atheism which claims that there is no god at all. 2. While equivalent to the whole of the existent world, there is no god "above" the world or "above the waters" as the Bible puts it, so he could act as the outside manager of the way things are. As such, pantheist god is to be understood more like the inner law of the world which thus organises itself. This claim differentiates pantheism from the so called "transcendentalism", which claims that god is something extra to the existent world.

animism comes from the Greek word "anima," meaning life, breath or spirit. animism is the first form of religion or belief system and is the belief that there is a god or spirit in everything, animate and inanimate. pantheism is the belief that God and the physical universe are one in the same. God is everything and everything is God.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods, while agnosticism is the belief that the existence of a god or gods is unknown or unknowable. Atheists assert that there is no evidence for the existence of a deity, whereas agnostics question whether such evidence could ever be found.
