This person usually considers himself or herself a deist.

Well, I guess I'll answer this one since it fits me like a glove. I'm Deist. We do believe in the existence of a higher power, I and some others call that entity "The Great Architect." We do not believe in organized religion (or revealed religion if you prefer) and do not follow so called "holy" texts written by human beings. I was on a search my whole life and was disgruntled with every religious organization I investigated and/or joined when I read a biography of the founders and discovered Deism (many of them were Deists). I was overjoyed to find so many others who believed as I always had. It has enjoyed a huge resurgence in the last 10 years.

After reading others' answers I have to point out that theism does not strictly fit her question. Theism can be mono or poly, but does include folks who subscribe to organized religion as well. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion lately in this forum as to what theists are. There is a great explanation in Wikipedia for theism, but it's too long to post here. I would respectfully ask those who think theism fits the bill to check it out. :).

i believe in God and that the bible is the be attentive to God, that Jesus is the son of God, the 1st created being, Rev.3:14; that angels have been long earlier earth began to be arranged for meant inhabitant, pastime 38:4-7, 30-32; whilst Gen.a million:a million,2; replaced into there a while, then Gen.a million:3-25; replaced into seen by angels for a while, that in the time of Gen.a million:26; the image and likeness is of God and Christ, now foward is from Adam in God's day six to end whilst at 12 months a hundred thirty, Cain kills Abel and Seth is born interior the image and likeness of Adam. This time provides to continuously God supplies that religions do no longer believe in or be attentive to what it ability [ yet 6130 disregarded years in bible is at Rev.20:a million-6; to began the 1000 12 months reign of Jesus], and don't believe interior the 1000 12 months reign of Christ, there are 1500 religions, i be attentive to they are there, yet i do no longer prefer any component to them different than to be attentive to their concept equipment and learn it to the bible, the bible tells ten situations better than the religions do [ heaven and hell is the main erroneous term on the face of the earth ]. 2Tim.2:15; i'm no longer accustomed to all the words used, which you point out, i'm purely a bible student, i like the bible and to work out that coping with mankind in sin that even mankind would not comprehend, has been a conflict that purely God and Christ can cope with, alongside with devil and the unholy angels, as I compares concept structures in this international, to the bible.

Deist is someone who believes that God created the universe but doesn't affect the universe in any way, that means no miracles.

I call them someone who does not know the true and Living God yet.
God teaches that there is good religion - James 1:27. And that the gathering of believers is very important - 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 and Hebrews 10:24-25.

a real Christian! The true religion is God and His Word, not what man-made religion says. Why do you think there are so many religions? Because man wants his religion to fit himself.

A theist is someone who believes in God, whether they belong to a religion or not.
An agnostic is someone who believes there is absolutely no way you can tell whether God exists, so they neither believe in Him nor disbelieve.
