Both reject a personal God, but pantheism finds the sacred in nature.

Pantheism vs Theism

Traditional theism sees God as separate; pantheism sees God as everything.

"I don't know" vs "I know - it's everything." Different questions entirely.

Pantheism vs Deism

The clockmaker who walked away vs. the clock that IS the maker.
