What is the term for the belief in God but not organized religion?

Answer 1

It really depends. If you mean that someone does not have any kind of beliefs then this is an Atheist.

If however it is simply they do not agree with Christianity or buddhisim but do neither do they believe in nothing then they are Agnostic

Answer 2

No, it does not mean you are an atheist, agnostist or deist might fit better. I've been trying to find a term to fit it properly, but no luck. I am Spiritual(closest I can come, because I do believe in religion, just not organized.

P.s. to the person that first answered atheist, check facts before answering things, an atheist is someone that doesn't believe in god, there is a BIG difference

Answer 3

It depends in what kind of god they believe in, not all god ideas are tied to religion.

For example there's always the term theist which simply means that the person believes in god(s). The term theist doesn't give any supporting details of the supposed characteristics or nature of this deity(s), but applies to anyone who believes in god(s) regardless of religious affiliations.

Then there's deism where a person believes that some god like being created the universe but either died or is otherwise uninvolved Or unconcerned with the universe and/or humanity in general.

There also Pantheism where a person believes that the universe, nature, natural laws and all people and things as a whole are god.

And there's a similar idea, Panentheism where one believes that god is the universe and something extra outside it, basically the universe is contained within God or is a part of god.

And just to throw it in here there is also Pandeism were god became the Universe, and ceased to exist as a separate and conscious entity.

I'm sure there's more but this should be sufficient.
