Spinoza's God is the Absolute, Ain Soph, The One. Schelling's Naturphilosohie is basically a vitalist Spinozism. Spinoza is not an atheist nor a mere pantheist since the concept of Being itself is contained within God, but Being does not contain God. Spinoza offers a sort of immanent model of Platonism that does away with the Forms in favour of structures of mechanical morphogenesis, in which God does not emanate but rather imbues reality in a similar manner to the function of Sense in the Proposition (God is thus a sort of Differential principle mirroring the development of the Hegelian Absolute, but with a chaotic element). Anybody who thinks Spinoza was a reductionist Physicalist atheist is illiterate. Note the tripartite nature of the Ethics corresponds to the divisions of the Self in some esoteric strands (Physiological/Alchemical Body -> Mechanism, Structural Self (Mitsein), Absolute beyond all Being).
