Animism

Theology

Animism is the theological position recorded in this atlas under the theology value animist, held by traditions that see spirit or soul in the natural world and not only in humans or gods. Wikipedia describes animism as the worldview or perception that various types of natural phenomena, including non-human organisms and often even landforms and inanimate objects, possess distinct spiritual essences, souls, or personhood. It is recorded as its own position entity so that the religions and cults that hold it can be grouped and compared in one place, while each entry keeps its own theology facts and sources.
