Transcendentalism claims that the universe is primarily spiritual. According to this view, the natural world is an illusion or merely a manifestation of the spiritual-ness of all things. The pursuit of life is unity, and this goal is finally achieved through the process of reincarnation. After each death, one assumes another life form based upon their performance in this life, until finally one reaches the state of nirvana, the ultimate rejoining with the spiritual fabric of the universe. Many eastern religions, the New Age movement, scientology, wicca, and polytheism all fit into this category.
Theism claims that both the physical and spiritual realms are distinct parts of reality.
Most importantly, theism holds the belief in a personal, supernatural God who created the physical universe. In this worldview, God, who determines both the meaning of life and the moral principles that govern His creation, specially designed humanity. After death, humans will face judgement, which will determine whether eternity will be spent in the presence of God or away from His presence. The three main theistic religions are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It is the person of Jesus Christ that separates Christianity from all other worldviews and makes it unique from Judaism and Islam.
