What membership means
     World Pantheism welcomes any pantheist who wishes to frequent our free forums on the Internet. These include our Facebook Fan page, our rich-featured online community at Ning.
     To maintain and expand our activities, and to inform the public about pantheism, we rely entirely on contributions from sympathetic supporters. These contributions enable payment of Web hosting costs, bank fees, printing of informational leaflets and magazines, and informational advertizing which spreads knowledge of pantheism. In addition we directly sponsor the preservation of wildlife habitat through paid ads at EcologyFund's Save Land scheme.
     Subscribing membership is more than anything an expression of solidarity and support for what we are trying to do. We are living in a world where politics and security are dominated by religious fundamentalisms, and where our precious natural environment is threatened by thoughtless over-exploitation.
     If you believe it's worthwhile to promote a rational, satisfying and ethically modern alternative to traditional supernatural religions - if you would like to help promote a spiritual approach that values Nature, science and human rights rather than life after death, threats of hellfire and the ethics and myths of past millennnia - then we hope you will join us.
     Supporting members receive additional benefits in addition to our free services. These include
The right to first consultation in polls about WPM services and other developments.
Access to the members' database to find pantheists close to them.
The reason we reserve these areas for supporting members is that participation in forming the future of World Pantheism demands at least some expression of commitment.
Full members also get hard copies of our occasional magazine Pan.

The WPM is a non-profit corporation registered in the State of Colorado.
We are recognized as a charity by the IRS under clause 501(c)3, so if you are a US resident
your contributions are tax-deductible. You can view our official documents here.

We have two major categories of membership:

The right to first consultation in polls about WPM services and plans.
Our hard-copy magazine PAN, with articles about practice, science, environment, almanac, links, info on meetings and so on. See sample issues of the magazine, which also give a good idea of our scope and outlook.

We suggest that you check our belief statement before joining. It is not compulsory, you don't have to learn it or recite it, it was written by fallible humans - but it is a good guide to what we are about. We like to think of it as the notice on our door. If you like it and want to communicate with or meet other people like yourself - come on in!
