Monism is the philosophical view that a variety of existing things can be explained in terms of a single reality or substance. The main forms of religious monism are:

  • Pantheism - the belief that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God or that the universe (or nature) is identical with divinity. Pantheists do not believe in a personal or anthropomorphic god.
  • Panentheism - a belief that the divine (be it a monotheistic God, polytheistic gods, or an eternal cosmic animating force), interpenetrates every part of nature, but is not one with nature.
Monotheism is simply the belief that there is one god. This belief can be consistent with monism, however the major monotheistic religions are not monistic.
