pantheist
a person who embraces pantheism, the doctrine that God is the ultimate transcendent, spiritual, impersonal reality of which the material universe and human beings are only manifestations: The pantheist says that only God exists and objects are mere modes of God’s attributes, while Baha’ism says that objects have a separate reality created by God.
a person who embraces any religious belief or philosophical doctrine holding that God is identical with the universe: For the pantheist, nothing is more worthy of reverence, or even worship, than the awesome power and beauty of the cosmos itself.
