Pantheism is the belief that [[God]] and the universe are identical, and that there is no difference between God and the world. Under this view, it could be said that all things are divine. However Pantheists generally deny that the world is the product of divine creation, deny the guidance of God, and deny the existence of sin. Because the God identified by Pantheists does not actually ''do'' anything, this belief has been characterized as a kind of [[atheism]]. Leading atheist [[Richard Dawkins]] has called Pantheism "sexed up atheism."
