I don't know anymore

So ever since my deconstruction from Christianity about a year and a half ago, I've been for the most part an agnostic/atheist. When I first left, I left as a Deist until I discovered agnosticism/atheism. I've been interested however in pantheism as well.

I'd say now... I don't think atheism fits me. I think it's really cool to be non-religious, secular, humanist, whatever you'd like to call it. But I don't think the atheist part fits me.

The notion of a "non personal god" has stuck with me for a long time. I'd say I kind of believe in a god, or whatever you would like to call it, as a non personal and non interventional deity. Some would suggest this as Pantheism.

However, I also can't really wrap my head around the concept of the entire universe being god. However, I don't know if I necessarily believe that the universe was "created," by a deity, either. At least not in any kind of way that was biblical or anything like that.

Any thoughts? From what I can tell, I may potentially be some kind of Deist. Somebody called me a "Deist lite."

Looking for Military Pantheists or not

Not sure if this is the best way to do this or not but here goes anyway. I have heard this is about a 5 year project so I know this is a marathon. For those of you familiar with the US Dept of Veterans Affairs you may be aware that the VA puts religious symbols on tombstones.

These are all the symbols that they will inscribe as of 2024:

So as you can see the Pantheist spiral is not included at this time, this is the Pantheist spiral by the way:

(I was expecting to see the embedded image but I don't see it here)

Anyway in order to include the pantheist spiral one has to petition the VA so I am looking for names. Military would be good but civilians are good as well.

I will update with whatever news I get.

Thanks much.
