pantheism

God equals everything

Pantheism is the belief that God and the universe are identical—that the divine is not a separate being but is present in all things.

Unlike traditional theism, which posits a creator distinct from creation, pantheism holds that nature itself is sacred: For pantheists, every tree and stone partakes of the divine.

The term sometimes describes a reverent attitude toward nature even without explicit religious belief.
