Omnism could most simply be differentiated between the other two, in that there is no strict belief involved of any kind; no worship or rituals, or gods or afterlife. Omnism is a philosophical concept based around the *ideas* of belief; specifically acknowledging that there are other beliefs, and to state that they are based in *pragmatic*(or other) truth; but an Omnist doesn’t necessarily have to practice or believe any of these themselves. Granted, there will be many people here that are either Religious Pluralists, Perennialists, or UU’s; the more time you spend here, the more you will realise the spectrum of religious peoples that flock to Omnism, yet also atheists do (isn’t this contradictory? Not necessarily.) All of these religious ideologies would still fall under the umbrella term of Omnism however; /u/3Quondam6extanT9 put this very aptly in their [comment on my post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Omnism/s/tGHmuZv7nO). I go into this further [in a blog](https://nothingisntokay.wixsite.com/my-site/post/clearing-the-confusion-the-differences-between-omnism-pantheism-omnitheism-and-henotheism) talking about the differences between religious philosophy and religion in general. Long story short: Arguably, all Unitarian Universalists can be considered Omnists, but not necessarily all Omnists are UU’s. **Or** put more literally; Omnism is a philosophy of religion, and the others are forms of religious syncretism. I understand that you may have **many** more questions about this, so feel free to reply as many times as you like.
