What do you not understand about the fact that it is impossible for a pantheist to be atheist?
PANTHEIST – belif that the world is in God, who in turn is in the world. That god is identical with the material universe or the forces of nature. It can also mean a readiness to worship all gods.
ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!
But they cannot be a pantheist because that involves a god!
Therefore it is Christians that are the majority of the pantheists!

Yeah, me, sort of.
I usually call myself a panentheist, not a pantheist, though. But in all actuality, I am a little bit of both.
In my view, everything is one, and everything is a part of God. You are God, I am God, this universe is God, my laptop is God, and the table over there is God... If there are other universes, then those too would be a part of Oneness, and therefore a part of God. But... I call myself a panentheist, because I believe God to be more than just the sum total of parts in this universe. To me, God or Oneness is an infinite force of perfect, unconditional love, of which everything is a part. We are what it does, what it is currently creating, and how it is currently manifesting. But it also goes BEYOND just this.
A metaphor that kind of works for me is: God is like a body, and everything in the universe is like different cells within that body. So all cells are a part of God, and fully divine, just like everything else is. But... at the same time, the body is more than just the sum total of cells. The body is its own entity, that does its own thing.
If you can understand that, you can largely understand me. Or at least this part of my spirituality, anyway. :)
