A group of religions similar to pantheism, but with a deist outlook on the nature of
God. Pandeists believe that
God is immanent in the universe - basically that
God is everything and everything is
God (or gods and goddesses, depending on the particular religion). However, unlike pantheism,
God is not a concious or active being, but non-personal or non-interventory.
It is different to panentheism or panendeism, which believe that even though God is immanent in the universe, he also transcends it (exists outside of it partly).
Oh ignore him, he's a pandeist - he sees the divine in a pinecone
even.
I never
said nature has a
soul or conciousness - you need to read up on pandeism to understand.
Hinduism is not pandeistic - it's panentheistic.
