it depends. typically Non-denominational.
But if you believe that its a specific God (ie..God, Allah etc..)
But you dont' believe in organized religion, you have a vast amt. of choices for titles lol.
EX: I am a Non-denominational Christian, I believe in Christ but..I think no religion has it right and all religions have valid points.
If you believe in a varying amt. of religions then you may be interdenominational.
You don't have to go to church to be a Christian, Jew or any other faith.

I believe in God. I do not go to church. I have read the bible, the quran and the dao, and I have travelled around the world twice. I am not an atheist nor an agnostic. I am a human being. In all modesty, I can say that I am a better christian than most christians. (Lower case intentional.)

Agnostic is basically one who claims that the existence of God is unknown and/or unknowable.
A Deist is one who believes that God created the universe... then abandoned it.
"Church" has many definitions. Just because you do not go to a particular building to attend public ceremonies of worship, does not make you any less of a believer than those that do. Call yourself a Believer. As long as you hold true to your beliefs within yourself... call yourself whatever you like.
Perhaps there is an actual term for it... of that I just might do some researching on.

I think it's called a "Deist." But to qualify as being a Deist, you also have to believe that God doesn't necessarily intervene in this world (I think), although I think you can also be a Deist and believe that God does intervene in this life. Some would say it's called "agnostic," but being an Agnostic would involve having very skeptical thoughts on God, so it isn't an appropriate term for the said description.

I don't know but I am that way. I believe in God, don't partake in religion, and I don't go to church. However, some of the Christians I've encountered say I'm going to Hell anyway for not having a religion or attending church.
It beats going to church just to have that members only attitude and passing judgment on others.

Many people believe there is a God, but choose not to obey Him.
We have instructions from the Bible to seek out his earthly organisation.
We can do nothing solo.
(Hebrews 10:25) not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near.

A sinner.
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 "and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds," 25 "not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near."
The Head title of this section reads
"Parenthetical Warning: Don't Despise Christ"

The term is agnostic, look it up.
Your "Q" aside, I'm wondering if you want to know more, but don't know how to ask? Perhaps.......
Believing God exists, and being "saved" are very different things. Not even close to being the same.
Much more to be said/heard. I'd suggest you ask someone you respect, who is "knowledgable" in these matters.
Good luck, God bless.

I believe the correct term is deist.
For those uninformed who answered "agnostic":
agnostic: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god (Merriam-Webster online)

I think agnostic is someone who isn't sure about God.
If you believe in God but don't go to church, your'e a Christian. Just not a church member. Which is fine.
God isn't just in churches.
