The term for believing in God but not actively worshiping Him is called "deism."
Deism is a belief that acknowledges the existence of a higher power or supreme being, often based on reason and nature rather than on religious texts. Its purpose is to provide a rational explanation for the existence of the universe and to promote a personal sense of spirituality and morality without the need for organized religion.
Voltaire believed in deism, which is the idea that a higher power created the universe but does not intervene in human affairs. This belief influenced his writings and philosophy by promoting reason, tolerance, and the separation of church and state. Voltaire used his works to criticize religious intolerance and promote freedom of thought and expression.

Deism is a belief that there is a Creator, but that after the act of creation he took no further interest in his creation. The whole essence of Christianity, in all its forms, is that God is interested in our welfare and does intercede. Some of the Founding Fathers of the United States are believed to have been deists.

Theism is a belief in a God or gods, who created and now control the universe and usually intercede in human affairs. When used in relationship with deism, it usually refers to the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The concept of deism arose during the Enlightenment as a minimalist interpretation of Christianity, as attempts were made to establish a rational basis for faith. Because the concept of a God who intervenes in human affairs seems unsupportable, the notion developed of a creator God who, having created the world, took no further part in world affairs. Deism is thus a form of monotheism in which any notion of special revelation is impossible, and the nature of the god can only be known through reason and observation from nature. A deist rejects the miraculous and the claim to knowledge made for religious groups and texts. Several of the Founding Fathers of the United States appear to have been deists.
A belief that nature is evidence of a creator is Deism.

The word "deism" has its roots in the word "god". Deism refers to the belief that based on observation, the natural world has "reason" and this is sufficient to justify the existence of God. In short, deism refers to the belief that there is God.
Deism has no holy book as that would require divine revelation.
