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.
