I second Storm's hesitation about considering animism a subsection of pantheism. Pantheism often gets expressed in monotheistic terms, while animism is inherently polytheistic as it is recognizing individual spirits in each aspect of the universe. Animism would fit better under a polytheistic header than a pantheistic one.

This is a good point

That is fair, but if each individual atom is divine, it doesn't mean pantheism is polytheism.

Animism DIR! Oh I would love that one. But if we'll stay on Pantheism / Panendeism for now I assume it would go under Non-Revealed, since Deism is there already.

The poll is now closed and Staff is working on adding the new DIR along with its sub-DIRs.

Thank you for voting in the poll and helping us finalize the decision to add the new DIR.
