"Pantheisticon: Or The Form Of Celebrating The Socratic Society" by John Toland (1751) presents a philosophical vision of a fictional pantheist group, the Socratic Society, worshipping the universe. Divided into three parts, it discusses pantheistic beliefs, societal rituals, and hymns glorifying the cosmos. Toland advocates for a rational, naturalistic approach to religion, asserting the universe's divine nature. Despite controversy, the work remains significant in pantheism's history, outlining moral codes and philosophical principles aligned with enlightenment ideals.

John Toland (1670–1722), an Irish rationalist philosopher and freethinker, made significant contributions to the Enlightenment through his writings on political philosophy and religion. Educated at prestigious universities and influenced by John Locke, Toland's work, notably "Christianity Not Mysterious,". His diverse writings on government, religion, and philosophy reflect his dedication to reason and free thought during this transformative era, including the Latin work "Pantheisticon"
