I think that pantheism is basically a form of atheism for the reasons I explained. It’s devoid of believing in a sentient, living being.
But, you missed the point entirely. I told Ancient One that I never met an ethical atheist. Surely, even under your position - that atheism is different from pantheism - you’d agree that both beliefs dismiss a personal, living God that has authority and requires ethical behaviors.
Never met an ethical atheist? Do you know any? I know more unethical Christians and thirsts than atheists or agnostics.
Just seems like a blanket statement that assumes morality is from God or must be.
