What's the difference between pantheism and theism?

Pantheism

Example Sentences:

  • (1) But in the last century, some druidic orders began hearkening to the rising tides of paganism and pantheism, and by the time hippies and crusties began gathering at the stones to celebrate the solstice, there was at least some common cause between the men with goat-headed staffs and those with long white robes.

Theism

  • (n.) The belief or acknowledgment of the existence of a God, as opposed to atheism, pantheism, or polytheism.

Example Sentences:
