Well if you mean by viewing God or any other gods or higher power purely in a symbolic or even metaphorical way then yes. Then again there's what's known as Agnostic Theism or maybe even Agnostic Deism. Or just plain Deism.

Well, I think I understand the Christian concept of God. I did after all attend a Church of England school for several years, study it to exam level and read most of the bible.
So assuming that it doesn't matter that there are variations on what people believe, I have an idea of what they are talking about.
But I don't have faith. To me it's a story. A bit of history, some allegory, some guidelines (some quite good) for living life. But knowing what people are talking about isn't the same as believing is it?

I have an open mind
I have seen and experienced things that cannot be explained by science.
I Know angels good and bad exist and obviously GOD
But my need and love for God is far more valuable than anything I can think of.
Once I lost my love for God and I went my own way, it was hell

I have faith in God because everything in existence works too well for it to have been a mistake.
I also think that it is arrogant for a human to think that they could possibly know anything about God.
My mind is wide open, pour in some wisdom.

Yes. Many people think that we Christians have it all figure out. We have doubts and lack of faith like all of us. But we place our faith in God and rely on His wisdom. That is a great place to be, in our Lord's care and protection. : )

Faith is needed by all - whether or not we can comprehend god. You have it the other way around . think about it. you don't have to believe god exists in order to have faith.

I am open minded, and wholeheartedly believe in God. I have faith in Him, but not in man made religion. I never will have faith in that.

God is infinite, the human mind is finite, so I would have to say no. The human mind is not big enough to comprehend God.
