Universalist theology is at the core of metaculture.

In essence it is the belief that all religions are different allegories for the same, universal god. Therefore, all religions offer different perspective and insights on the nature of god and should be seen as analogous and complimentary rather than mutually exclusive.

Pantheism is the theological tradition present in most religions that suggests there is no difference between creator and creation. Therefore god is the self-creating universe, not some being that exists separately from it.

If god is the universe, then it stands to reason that all religions are simply different ways of describing that same god, not made-up beings with no common reference point. Humans exist in the universe and need to figure out how to cope with that, and developed religion to do that. This is Pantheistic Universalism and is the basis for the theology of metaculture.
