Animism
A world view. Animists believe that an impersonal power is present in all objects (specifically, all of nature). They believe that various spirits inhabit and influence the world, and that these spirits can be influenced to serve man. Animism is simultaneously pantheistic, polytheistic, and deistic. Compare hylozoism.

Apologetics Index (apologeticsindex.org, countercult.com, cultfaq.org) provides 25,000+
pages of research resources on religious cults, sects, new religious movements, alternative religions, apologetics-, anticult-, and countercult organizations, doctrines, religious practices and world views. These resources reflect a variety of theological and/or sociological perspectives.
The site provides information that helps equip Christians to logically present and defend the Christian faith, and that aids non-Christians in their comparison of various religious claims. Issues addressed range from spiritual and cultic abuse to contemporary theological and/or sociological concerns. Apologetics Index also includes ex-cult support resources - including a directory of cult experts (CultExperts.org), up-to-date religion and cult news (Religon News Blog: ReligionNewsBlog.com), articles on Christian life and ministry, and a variety of other features. |
