polypantheism

Really? Definition doesn't seem to make much sense. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:15, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

• Google Books provides a handful of hits, but I'm not sure I would say that a consistent meaning is evident from them. bd2412 T 12:12, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

• 1980, Walter Martin, ‎Gretchen Passantino, The New Cults, p. 128:

  This may be as simple as the atheist's world view, which actively denies the existence of any God and the validity of any religious system, or as complicated as the constantly evolving polypantheism which is intricately woven into the Hindu world view.

• 2011, Gabriel de Tarde, Monadology and Sociology, p. 73:

  ... as noted, Tarde's theory is also a panpsychism, and in his own terms a 'myriatheism' (p. 25), which might be less elegantly paraphrased as polypantheism.

• 2014, Emma Restall Orr, Spirits of the Sacred Grove:

  The difficulty with polypantheism is the tendency to order, to classify.

• Note also that "polypantheistic" - which should be a derived form - is slightly better attested in Google Books, and much earlier. bd2412 T 12:23, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
