The ancient tribe practised the belief that God is everything peacefully.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Pantheism
Meaning: pantheism = the belief that God is everything and everything is God; that God and the universe are one *(सर्वेश्वरवाद)*.
Greek *pan* = all, *theos* = god.
"the belief that God is everything" is the dictionary definition of pantheism.
Why the others are wrong.
• polytheism = belief in many gods *(बहुदेववाद)* — *poly* = many, not "all".
• neologism = a newly coined word or expression *(नवशब्द, नया गढ़ा शब्द)*.
• materialism = the view that only matter exists, or a devotion to money and possessions *(भौतिकवाद)*.
Word help.
tribe = a social group sharing ancestry and customs *(जनजाति)*.
*Pan = all: pantheism (God is all), pandemic (all people), panorama (all in view).*
Examples
- “Pantheism holds that nature itself is divine.”
