God-isms


theism = God(s) created & rule humans & the world.
polytheism = worship-of, or belief-in more than one deity.
kathenotheism = worship of one god at a time as supreme
w/o denying existence of other gods
& including tendency to make different gods supreme one after the other.
henotheism = worship of 1 god among several: worship of one god while acknowledging the existence of other gods.
Tritheism = cosmic divinity is composed of 3 equally powerful entities. 
ditheism = 1. 2 equally powerful gods.
                 2. 2 independent antagonistic principles, 1 good, 1 evil.
monotheism = there is only one God.
deism = rational belief in God: a belief in God based on reason rather than revelation and involving the view that God has set the universe in motion but does not interfere with how it runs.
polydeism = many gods set the universe in motion, then ceased to interact with it. Rational belief based on reason rather than revelation.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Eutheism = god is good.
dystheism = god/God is not wholly good, & is possibly evil.
nontheism = does not have a specific belief in a god or deity.
atheism = disbelief in the existence of God or deities.
Misotheism = hatred of God(s)
----------------------------------------------------------------
theopanism = (Greek: Theos = God, pan = all) was first used as a technical term by the Jesuits in elucidating Hinduism. "[O]ne may distinguish pantheism, which imagines the world as an absolute being ("everything is God"), from theopanism, which conceives of God as the true spiritual reality from which everything emanates: "God becomes everything", necessarily, incessantly, without beginning and without end.
Theopanism is (with only a few other dualistic systems) the most common way in which Hindu philosophy conceives God and the world."[1]
Theopanism has also been more broadly stated as inclusive of any theological theory by which God is held equivalent to the Universe. 
As one author puts it: "In theopanism the meaning given the word God is of an entity that is not separate from the universe.
Theopanism includes among its major concepts pantheism and panentheism."[2] This broader statement would also include Pandeism.
pantheism = divine is synonymous with the universe; all beings are aspects of same core deity.
panentheism = divine (be it a monotheistic Godpolytheistic gods,
or an eternal cosmic-animating-force), interpenetrates every part of nature and timelessly extends beyond it.[1]
pandeism = God who is both pantheistic & deistic,
God designed the universe and then created it by becoming the universe,
thus ceasing to act consciously with respect to the universe.
Worship which admits or tolerates favorable aspects of all religionsomnitheism
 all religions contain a core-recognition of the same-God.
 every entity is a God.
 all entities from all religions are true & do exist.
multitheism = existence of multiple forms of theism, as in a society.

=================================

polypanenDeism = Rational beliefs based on reason & science,
which omnitheistically admit the 20%-workable-aspects of all religions.
Advanced-technology (which appears both pantheistic & deistic),
utilizing the cosmic-animating-force (73%-Dark-Energy),
which interpenetrates every part of nature & extends beyond it,
intelligently-redesigned the world, remodeled it, became a part of it,
set it in motion, & then decreased overt interaction with it.
“Any sufficiently advanced-technology is indistinguishable from divinity.”
–Arthur C. Clark (1917-2008)
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents
and making them see the light,
but rather because its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
--Max Planck (Nobel Prize physicist & a founder of Quantum-theory)
