To me, pantheism means the multiverse is a networked ecology with no central control. Monotheism is a top-down system. To me, everthing is divine from a quark to a galaxy to each and every organism and speck or dirt. We all extemporize, each in our way(s) to connect, compete, cooperate, build, maintain, and destroy.

There is a tendency I have noticed within polytheistic religions to posit one central God or AGoddess. I think that is an inherant flaw of organized religion in which the humans want power and a codifed structure. Whether the gods and goddesses are like that is doubtful to me.
