Cosmotheist

/kɒzˈmoʊθiːɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who believes that the cosmos or universe itself is divine or godlike; one who sees divinity in the natural world and cosmic order.

Etymology

From Greek kosmos (world) + theist (from theos, god). This term describes pantheistic philosophy where the universe itself is sacred rather than worshipping a separate deity.

Kelly Says

Spinoza, the famous philosopher, was essentially a cosmotheist—he argued that God and Nature are the same thing, that divinity exists in the cosmic order itself rather than above it.
