Notes:

(1.) This is the view often known as pantheism; see Michael P. Levine, Pantheism: A Non-theistic Concept of Deity (London: Routledge, 2003).

(2.) Of course, there are a variety of religions that do not involve a reference to an ultimate reality; their concern with ultimacy, if it is thematized at all, is a concern with one’s final ethical, familial, or political duties; one’s responsibilities to one’s tribe or ancestors; or one’s proper place in nature. Confucianism, Shintoism, and animistic religions are often placed in this category. Although this categorization is standard, it is not uncontroversial. For a good indication of the actual complexity, see the three volumes of published results from Boston University’s “ultimate reality research project,” each edited by Robert Cummings Neville and published by SUNY Press in 2001: Religious Truth, Ultimate Realities, and The Human Condition.
