pantheist
"belief that God and the universe are identical," 1705, coined by Ir. deist John Toland (1670-1722), from Gk. pan- "all" + theos "god" (see Thea). Toland's word was borrowed into Fr., which from it formed panthéisme (1712) which returned to Eng. as pantheism "the doctrine that all is god" in 1732 (no evidence that Toland used pantheism). Gk. pantheios meant "common to all gods" (see pantheon).
