It's a quiz, and you can answer with your current beliefs and it will let you know what is closest to them, as well as suggested additional reading.

There are many religions that do not exclede your beliefs such as Hinduism or Buddhism but religions are only a guide in the pursuit of truth, study them all and take only what agrees with you.
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own sense of reason and your own common sense."
-Buddha

Bah! Why pick a religion at all? I considered myself "Wiccan" and got blasted by other "Wiccans" for my own personal beliefs, which were "wrong." Apparently you cannot self-identify with a religion unless you follow every single itty bitty concept of said religion.
Just believe what you want. But if you absolutely must label your beliefs, you sound Pagan, quite possibly.

There are actually scores of religions that fit what you just described. Buddhism, Hinduism, Wicca, Asatru to an extent (although it is a polytheistic faith, not a monotheistic one), just about any branch of Neopagan faith, about any other Eastern religion you can think of...
But as someone above said, you don't need to have a named religion in order to have faith in what you believe. Organized religion is just a crutch. The best faith is to follow your heart and go by your instincts.

Check out the Unitarian Universalist church. Also Unity (that's a different from the Unitarians). Spiritualism could work, as well. Also, there's the Rosicrucian Fellowship:

Buddhists DO NOT believe in a god.

but you know it isnt so bad not having a religion. i am in that boat. i believe in a god... yet i cant (for the life of me) find a religion that i agree with...
just keep in mind that faith not religion is important.

I believe all of that! I'm a pantheist which means that "God is all" Science is excepted as truth and reincarnation is excepted because our bodies and souls are still apart of God even after we die.

There is no need for you to find a mainstream religion for your beliefs, if you have them, then they are yours and no one elses.
Organized religion is really built to control the masses, thus it is tailored as such, discarding personal journey for mass control. You'll find more truth inside yourself then in any chanting, praying group.

Hinduism. With Brahman as God.

You are more than likely a Spiritualist....but I think you would find peace in the UNorganized glorious realms of Paganism.
