I wouldn’t categorize pantheism under monotheism.

I would. Monotheism is any belief that prescribes the existence of a single God and its worship. I don’t want to argue on semantics, but what else could Pantheism be if not monotheistic?

Pantheism is monotheistic and non-hierarchical. Hierarchy, by definition, implies the existence of more than one thing, and any monistic theology is non-hierarchical.

Hierarchy sells because it gives you a place that belongs to you, even when it’s a shitty place. Having a place does wonder for depression, because it creates meaning.

Creating meaning without hierarchy is possible, though much harder.

When they sell you what I assume is the Christian God (not all Gods are hierarchical), they sell you an easy solution. Burgers make you full if you’re hungry, even if they are not good for other parameters. But if a friend is starving and all you have is a burger, you offer a burger.
