How does the concept of atheism reinforce the concept of panentheism?
Part II of II
...If everything in the universe had a beginning and an end, is it so unreasonable to believe that the boundary of the universe itself had a beginning and an end?
If the universe had a beginning, then something had to begin the process.
The force that started the universe is what is called a Causative Force.
The whole debate begins with atheism, there is no Causative Force and leads into the discussion of the idea of a Causative Force existing, which in turn leads to the idea of the ultimate size of the Causative Force, true omnipresence.
This leads to the idea of panentheism.

The question of the Causative Force having a creator is not one we can argue at this point in time.
It is interesting.
It is very philosophical, but the point of our journey is to contemplate the size of the Causative Force relative to ourselves and our universe.
It appears that atheism, by limiting the boundaries of our existence, would limit our ability to behave in an idealistic manner.
Due to this, it appears that atheism would establish the need for the development of something greater than what it has to offer.
Atheism points us toward panentheism.
