What is the difference between pantheism and panentheism?

Pantheism is the belief that Nature itself is divine and that God acts through the forces of Nature. All things therefore are divine. Panentheism is the belief that God is present in all things, especially in people. Many Christians are panentheists and opposed to theism, which concentrates on God "out there" or "up there".

Describes God as imbedded within us within creation?

I think you might be looking for 'Panentheism' - 'A doctrine that the universe is part of God, but that God nevertheless transcends or has some existence separate from the universe' (Wiktionary) - like your hand is part of you, but not you, everything you see is both God and not-God; everything is worthy of reverence appropriate to its nature, but must not be mistaken for that which transcends and brings into being all that we perceive.

Is God really all over the place?

This is a popular debated topic among the religious and the nonreligious communities.A religious person would tell you that God is everywhere ("omnipresent"), while a nonreligious person would tell you this is all in the person's head. Belief and faith are what keep religion going.In religious scholarship, the belief that God is in everything (e.g., in nature and the cosmos) is called pantheism. A similar term, panentheism, means that God is not only in everything, but God is beyond everything--formless and transcendent.


What is the difference between hinduaism and Christianity?

Hinduism does not have a single system of salvation unlike Christianity which states the only way to be saved is through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ who died on the cross of calvary to forgive our sins.

What is it called when you do not believe in God but do not doubt the presence of a superior being?

First of all, this seems to describe an aspect of fideism, which is a belief based on pure faith alone, with no evidence to support it. Arguably, the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are another aspect of fideism. Although you do not believe in the Abrahamic God, if you see this superior being in terms of a god, this still represents monotheism. Pantheism holds that the Universe itself is God. A minor variation is panentheism, which holds that god contains, but is not identical to, the Universe. Deism is based on belief in a god who created the world and has taken no further interest in his creation.


Is Hinduism autonomous?

I do not think the question is very clear. If it means that whether there are any rules and regulations in Hinduism, then, sure, there are. But they relate to the responsibilities of a person towards the family and the society, and valuing traditions. That is known as 'Dharma' (duties and righteous conduct). Where Hinduism is quite lenient is about one's belief in God/Gods/Goddesses. Hinduism sees no harm in different beliefs in this regards, if the person is fulfilling his/her 'Dharma'. So, you would find all types of beliefs in Hinduism that you can think of; polytheism, monotheism, monism, pantheism, panentheism, henotheism, kenotheism, and even atheism. These are considered as 'Matas' (opinions), and one can follow any according to his/her inclination.


What percentage of people are atheists?

Reliable statistics are hard to come by. Many atheists do not declare their atheism.To further complicate the matter, some religions like Buddhism are atheistic, denying the existence of any god or gods, but many 'folk Buddhists' do believe in god. Also, Hinduism has many different strains of thought, ranging from polytheism, through to monotheism, panentheism and pantheism, and even a few atheistic schools. Unless we could ask every single person on earth whether they believe in god or not in a private setting so they'd be honest, we can't be sure how much of the worlds population is atheist.There is no reliable statistic for the number of atheists in the world due to several factors:No one is interested in counting that category.Many people are confused by that term thinking there are varying degrees of atheism.There are several world-wide organized "religious" groups that do not worship a supreme being.There is no umbrella organization that can assist in an accurate count of that category.Many people do not wish to identify themselves as atheists because of the inherent prejudice against atheists by leaders and members of various Christian amd Muslim sects.


What does laws of nature and of nature's God mean?

Laws of nature are "descriptive": we observe a consistent rule being followed.Science understands it's ability to obtain knowledge is limited and can not without good reason attempt to assert intention. If things can be sufficiently explained with out such features as intention, than it would be an error to include said features. Things we fail to account for are investigate and tested."nature's God"... This might simply mean the "will of God"?If you mean laws that God had made, then the laws are "prescriptive": prescribed intentional like our traffic laws. A believer might see "laws of nature" as their God's prescribed laws. Coming to this conclusion by either tradition, authority, revelation, and/or faith that the observed laws were intentionally created by their God.Perhaps you mean, nature is God? This is a form of pantheism or panentheism.Pantheism is the belief that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God, or that the universe (or nature) is identical with divinity. Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal or anthropomorphic god.Panentheism means "all-in-God", and was formally coined in Germany in the 19th century in an attempt to offer a philosophical synthesis between traditional theism and pantheism, stating that God is substantially omnipresent in the physical universe but also exists "apart from" or "beyond" it as its Creator and Sustainer. Thus panentheism separates itself from pantheism, positing the extra claim that God exists above and beyond the world as we know it
