I talk about the relation between pantheism and atheism in the first two articles linked below.
The problem with the platonic talk of laws of nature is that it, too, invites a theistic ontology. Who's the lawgiver for nature? You see, "law" has too many social connotations to be relevant to nature's alienness. So in other articles, I criticize that concept on pragmatic and cosmicist grounds.
My kind of pantheism is quite atheistic. The divinity is in the awesome scope of nature's creativity and destructiveness, not in any lame personhood we must vainly project onto those processes. It's not that we can choose to view nature as creative. The pantheistic point is that we witness that creativity happening throughout the wilderness, even if the timescales blow our mind and pass us by, hiding in plain sight. By sculpting the earth, the weather systems are in the process of further developing the surface, like an artist who can't stop tinkering with a painting.
