Am I an agnostic, deist, or other?

I look up the definitions and am still not sure. So . . .
I be believe in a creator. I think the evidence is all around us. I don't embrace a particular religion. I think the Bible and other religious texts are, directly or indirectly, inspired by a creator, possibly have more in common than we think, but possibly misinterpreted by man. So, while not embracing any religion I do not reject any. I guess I'm most closely identified as a deist, right? |

Yes, you're a deist.
Deist = belief in a creator, higher power sort of being. Atheist = does not believe that any god(s), creator(s) or the supernatural exists. Agnostic = thinks it could be either way, but remains unsure. |

I don't need one. I really don't like labels. I am just curious what would be the most applicable label. |

| If you think the creator is hands off, doesn't listen to or answer prayers, nor involves itself in our day to day lives, then Deist also. |

| 15:58 here. Meant to say I struggle with whether I'm deist or theist myself. |
