Yeah, I basically view the entire universe as a physical part of God. So we're all components of a unified being I'd call God. Whether this God has a separate will or consciousness is another story.
how I feel.
I've heard people say things like this before and I've never really quite understood it tbh. The universe is the universe. We all are what we are. I see no reason to try to unify it as one being and call it "god".
I think it's just a way to feel a little better about things. Because yeah, functionally it's no different from atheism.
It's more that I see the universe has qualities that are commonly attributed to concepts of God, and find them indistinguishable. It's not atheism for me at least because I lean on the side that there may be an outside "will" (or at least source of influence) that's less naturalistic.
I get the argument of saying this concept of God is just atheism, though I disagree as I draw meaning from labeling the universe as God (namely it is worthy of praise and find it a source of moral inspiration).
