I'm really not sure why you don't like pantheism -- they make it quite
clear in the FAQ's that "God" per say is not involved -- just that they
view "nature as divine" -- which is to say, nature as special in it's own
right, as valuable a priori, as a window into what makes life meaningful.
I see no reason to object -- except possibly to the name itself. They
mention that "religious atheism" is a synonym. Perhaps this tickles you
better?
