A
Animism is a belief that all components of the universe, including humans, have some form of life force. Many Native American religions contain this concept. A cult is the religious devotion to a set of beliefs or to a person. Cults are often thought to be fanatical, and are socially disapproved; however, the difference between a religion and a cult may be in the eyes of the person who makes the definition. Pagan religions have beliefs in an animistic, spirit-filled system. Spirituality is the concern for the meaning and purpose of life and is different from a belief that all things in nature have some form of life force.
