According to this article by World Pantheism, most of the pantheists they're involved with don't use the word "God:"
Pantheism as "Sexed-up Atheism"
"His one caveat is that scientific pantheists should not use words like “God.” Well, we don’t...In practice, while a significant minority of our members like and use the word God to express the depth of their feelings for Nature and the wider Universe, the majority do not use the word about their own beliefs."
Obviously, scientific pantheism is only one subset of pantheism, so I was wondering how people in this forum view the word.
I've stated my own position in other threads elsewhere, but I'll re-state them here. I would say that I am a classical pantheist. Every now and then I might slip into talking about God, but I generally prefer using words like "nature," "fate," or "universe" because I feel like they're less likely to be confused with the God of classical theism.
