Theism
Most Spiritualists believe in a monotheistic, omnibenevolent God, akin to Christianity. The Spiritualists’ National Union’s first principle is “the fatherhood of God”.


[edit] Mediumship and Spirits
Spiritualists believe in communicating with the spirits of discarnate humans. They believe that spirit mediums are humans gifted to do this. They believe that spirits are capable of growth and perfection, progressing through higher spheres or planes. The afterlife is not a static place, but one in which spirits evolve. The two beliefs—that contact with spirits is possible, and that spirits may lie on a higher plane—lead to a third belief, that spirits can provide knowledge about moral and ethical issues, as well as about God and the afterlife. Thus many members speak of spirit guides—specific spirits, often contacted, relied upon for worldly and spiritual guidance.

So apparently I know more of your religion than you do.
