The philosophy got its name from the Stoa Poikile, a hall in Athens where it was first formulated around 300 BC by Zeno of Citium. All of Zeno's writings are lost. The wise and virtuous learns one's place in the scheme. Pantheism holds that the cosmos, taken or conceived of as a whole, is synonymous with the theological principle of God. The Cosmos is divine, and the earth sacred.
Pantheism reconciles science and religion through ecology leading to strong environmental awareness.
Pantheists believe in Divine Immanence. All share divinity. This leads the pantheist to personal ethics of tolerance and understanding. With some exceptions, pantheism is non-theistic, but it is not atheistic. It is the belief in one God, a God identical to the all-inclusive unity, but pantheists generally do not believe God is a person or anything like a person.
