Omnism is also the religion of which Mightily Oats was a missionary priest.

Yes, Buffy (not vampire) someone. Quoted from Gandhi.
Don't really think he meant it literally, more that he empathised with & saw integrity in all faiths.

Thing is, in saying what he said, Gandhi was being an orthodox Hindu. They happily welcome any God into their ever-expanding pantheon - the original Omnists, really.

Most Hindus are natural Omnists. They could easily walk into a church or mosque (if allowed) or gurudwara without any problem. All deities and all rituals and all prayers are a means to self development.
I once walked into a bar. It really hurt. It was an iron bar.

Not heard of it either though I had heard of Chris Martin's all theism. Not sure if it isn't just another use of the idea of spiritual as being valid but avoiding any definition.
my girlfriend once had an omnism . But only once.

Mike Pinder is brilliant, he aims to sound like Brum's version of Christopher Lee...and he almost gets away with it.
