Or is it dualistic, only focusing on good and evil, heaven and hell, spiritual and physical, wrong and right, black and white, etc.?

I'm a Wiccan, I don't believe in any "absolute evil" like Christianity's Satan.
Nothing can be separated from the Divine because the Divine is in all. When the Gods created the world, they gave a part of themselves to create it. (Gaia, for example)
Likewise, there is no such thing as absolute good either.
Regarding polar opposites, there is always a Grey area.

Holistic. In Wiccan practice, the Divine presence is generally believed to encompass all things -- life and death, creation and destruction, pleasure and pain. There is no possible separation from the Divine presence, which includes everything within it (including the physical substance of the universe, which is often viewed as the living body of the Divine presence).

I'm an atheist. My belief system is very holistic. It is even compatible with all the new scientific discoveries we're making. Unlike religion, we don't have to rationalize away anything that contradicts what we thought true before.

Buddhism, as taught by SGI-USA is based on the entirety of life. That includes the tiniest speck of dust. The person is a unique, if temporary, combination of factors and is inherently part of the entire universe. It is an and approach, not an or approach.

holistic, as it perceives the world from the Creator's point of view. What could be more holistic than that which explains both the worldly views and the spiritual views?

when you are surrounded by a huge number of people saying there is only one way of doing things... then you have them and the me... some times it come down to black and white for societies are so polarized with religion that not doing it just your way can get you sucked into the great disfunctional void that they create.... Share what you have learned and if you are still learning new things beyond the narrow box of religious thinking keep it up... but stay grounded for you'll never know until you can talk to each other when you meet another like you you can share with...

there are things that are right and there are things that are wrong- there are however, things that are permissable but not profitable. Not everyone and everything falls into the "good" or "evil" catergory- we are all works in progress, but sin is sin - we are all sinners but we can all walk in the grace and forgiveness of God allowing Him to change us from the inside out (this is good) or we can rebel and continue to choose sin , make justification for it or accept and ignore it (this is wrong) How we choose to respond to instruction and discipline is what counts- the ends do not justify the means
