"The basic concepts of Pantheism comprise:

Reverence for Nature and the wider Universe.

not wider universe,just the universe whatever it is and urself

Active respect and care for the rights of all humans and other living beings.

Celebration or our lives in our bodies on this beautiful earth as a joy and a privilege.

its not about caring about others but urself

for example retaliation to an attack from a foolish person would only people you turning into the same thing you were fighting aginst

if you think of urself and right way you can satisfy urself,you will itself not dissatisfy anybody else which will never bring war or the feeling of hurting another one

Realism - acceptance that the external world exists independently of human consciousness or perception.

yes but different people perceive it differently

Strong naturalism, without belief in supernatural realms, afterlives, beings or forces.

afterlife not in the same realm and as we perceive in as humans but a different realm

Respect for reason, evidence and the scientific method as our best ways of understanding nature and the Universe.

Promotion of religious tolerance, freedom of religion and complete separation of state and religion."

if you only concern urslef then relgious tolerance will be very easy

its not about freedom religion but freedom of the way most people think of religion

 

 

Everything else is basically humanisim which is not a religion, hell Panthiesim is barely a religion it's self.

pantheim is not a relgion it denotes the type of religion and don't mix ignorant thinking of GOD=relgion

deism - atheism

theism - abrahamic relgion

pantheism - Buddhism

 

Religion defined for clarity as 

1. A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

religon is about an ethical way of living

its not for any cause or purpose,yeah many people think of it and talk about supremacy but they really haven't read their relgious book

2. A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.

the teaching and its meaning is all the same,a moral way of life.

the start and end is whats twisted.

also many religious folks blindly follow religion as they think whatever written in the book will happen continuously again and again when some of the things are jst related to a specific time regarding and start and end of the world

And the world does make sense it's all cause and effect, it's not fair or ordered and full of things that we have no control of.

we might not have control over all things but we do on some as its that exchange where we cause something.

That in no way makes me weak and I don't see how it would. And I especially don't see how identifying myself as a Panthiest would change that or make me weaker or stronger.

i am speaking in long term and metaphorical sense here

for example:men in todays world if they show emotions are considered weak,which is the wrong things as jst being urself is known as weak and we follow this stereotype set in the society.so to attach yuorself to this world and express urself is considered weak.but a time comes when people know that they were blind and not enjoying what life was meant to be

Only a weak person would feel then need for religion to feel strong.

after so much and you still think relgion is locked to theistic beliefs?

also if a person is athiest he would not follow the moral code as karma doesn't effect the

even then most atheist follow the moral code which is a pantheist way of life not an atheistic

 

if somebody were really a true atheist then they would not life to be attached to this world,relations,society
