I believe in something greater, but I believe in the universe as my Diety. I think it allowed life to flourish but I don't think humans are any more significant than any other apart from through our achievements and advancement. I don't believe in the afterlife(Life alone is a big thing), or a Moral interviening God, I do however believe everything is observed.
I have no proof for my beliefs, my Deity asks for no worship, and needs no believers.
What classification would you put this in at?

Impersonalism, I would say it was even theism as your beliefs are indefinite. The Universe is not a person but a place, but there are many like you who personify it which is impersonalism also because you distance yourself from God(s).
You would not be pantheist as that involves worship of God(s) but through different personalities and aspects. E.g. Hinduism is pantheist as it recognises Krishna or Vishnu as supreme Godhead but He has many forms which make up the whole, such as Shiva, Lakshmi etc.
Pagan is too broad, as most pagans are polytheist and worship pre-Christian Gods. However there are some pagans who have this view as do some Wiccans.
H; Great Spirit isn't a Deity. My family is part Native American. They don't personify the Universe, although they speak of it.

If you do not believe in a Moral intervening God then you are an atheist because that is just what it means. You believe in the universe as a Deity? so.. Your God is the universe and this is what you worship? Wow! I am sure the universe will help you out if ever you are in trouble or will it possibly bring you down? The universe out side the earth is the lords and the lords says do not come into my universe. It also speaks of NASA in the bible and it says that man will venture to the moon. People that do not read the bible do not even realize that it is in there.
Do you believe that man came from the ape? Because we had to come from somewhere. If you believe in this then common sense should tell you that this is impossible. If this were true then man would still be evolving from the ape or the ape would be extinct. Any thing that evolved into something else died out. WE still have apes and have you seen any of them lately producing any human babies? of course not.. they are still apes and produce Apes. Darwins theory was a theory and never has been proven to be true.
Cats remained cats they did not turn into some other species but the sabor tooth died off because of it's environment and became other cats that changed because of their environment but they still remained cats! Before you set your mind into believing certain things you should do alot more studying to find out the truth about life. I can tell you have not read much of the bible and that is sad because there is more truth in it then you realize. There is proof in the bible if you look for it.
Did you know that when Moses went to speak to God the burning bush that he saw only grows in one spot on this earth and that it secretes this oil and burns but does not burn the plant? Did you know that when the woman that looked back at Sodom and Gormorrah and was turned to salt that there is still a pillar of salt on the side of a mountain where they feel Sodom and Gormorrah was and it should not be there and it does look a lot like a woman? This was on Television for all to see. Did you know that everything that was predicted in the Bible has occurred and still is?
No your Deity asks for no worship because there is nothing there without the breathe of life to be put in it and only God can do that. I feel for you because you really have nothing but empty dead space and that can put a very big void in your life and also give you everlasting death. so.. it is always possible that you could be wrong and what if you are? There will be no going back and there will be no way to ask forgiveness because it will be too late. Are you sure you want to take that chance?

You believe in the Universe as your Deity? Well let's define what you are not. You are not Christian since you don't believe in the Christian God. You don't fall into any of the other mainstream groups who acknowledge God as the Father. You are not an atheist because you believe in a Deity. You are not agnostic because you aren't saying God's existence simply can't be proven.
Certain Native Americans believe in a Great Spirit but I'm pretty sure that they don't mean the Universe. A pseudo documentary about extraterrestrials I once viewed claimed that the E/Ts believe in the Universe as God. Are you sure you aren't just mirroring something like this?
I won't call you a heathen or a pagan because you are apparently monothestic, that is, you seem to believe in only one true God. None-the-less, you don't really fit into a standard mold.
Why don't you just say that you are... A believer.
Good luck.

A mixture of Existentialism, Panthiesisn, and Humanism. Which adds up to Universalism.

I would class that as a reasonable and natural belief from what you have observed. No actual Deity as an entity from what you say.
I would say you are agnostic but could be wrong.

Pantheism-the belief that God and the material world are one and the same thing and that God is present in everything

Agnostic, which is defined by those who question the existence of a higher power. (Atheists don't believe in a higher power at all).
I hope that helps, because ultimately only you can answer this question for sure.

I would say you are like Baruch de Spinoza. Google him if you want. I also think you are like Don Quixote. Insisting on living in a world of your own imagenation deosn't mean you'll live happy and die in peace!
