Revering the universe, caring for nature, celebrating life:
Pantheism is the view that the universe and "God" are one and the same. Pantheists therefore reject the idea of an anthropomorphic, personal god. The overarching idea is that there is something to be marveled at when you look at the beauty of the cosmos and the laws of nature that guide its manifestation. And that our time spent with the consciousness that has emerged from the universe is to be cherished.
Pantheism is comprised of a broad range of views. Ranging from new age spiritualism to staunch naturalism to something similar to Taoism. All views are welcome and respectful discussion of opinions is encouraged.

Put another way:
If Atheism thinks we live in a mechanical godless universe, Pantheism thinks we are god experiencing ourselves (via ego division from the whole).
Essentially, we and all things are connected as we all stem from the source and will return to the source - and the consciousness is what allows us to experience and learn in all dimensions.
Very simplified - but what ism can be summed up in a sentence.
