If I believe that “God” is everything in existence, not limited to or excluding this universe, and we are all part of the One, what religion/texts does that most line up with? I assume something like Buddhism? I really don’t know help me out pls, thank you in advance

I can’t make myself believe in heaven or hell, I believe in God but Christian beliefs just seem silly to me

>Buddhism
Not Buddhism, Buddhism is the opposite of that. Some options: Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Advaita Hinduism, Theologia Germanica, Kabbalah, probably some Sufi stuff.

probably forms of pantheism/panenthiesm (look at wiki page for both for more info)

so maybe spinozaism and other abrahamo-platonic spinoffs, and some currents of high buddhism. if you want a western spin go spinoza, easter go Buhdda or some hindos.

side point, but i think Quakerism is tangentially similar, but i only think it aplies to humans/those with a spark of consciousness to them.

>Gnosticism, Neoplatonism
eh, kind of, but not really. both are less that god is everything and more that everything is a poor imitation of god. i think that’s important to note and is fundamentally different from what op is asking for.

I wouldn't say that. For Neoplatonists, everything ultimately flows from the One. If you're a good Platonist, even matter is constructed from the forms (see the Timaeus). The problem is that by that point, our perception of the material is as distant from the true reality of the One as can be. As for the Gnostics, even the demiurge and the material world he made ultimately derive from the pleroma, but even if we except the material from that, our souls do stem from pleroma and will return if we free ourselves from bondage to matter. Same is true for the Neoplatonists.

Tao te Ching and Gita are probably the closest thing to a religious text for this. You'd be better off reading the stoics or Spinoza

It's called monism and there are many different variations.
