What religion or belief system would you consider mine?

I have a pretty broad view of religions and beliefs (I adhere to the philosophy of "take what you want and leave the rest"). Its a bit much but I'd appreciate if you read and answered. I definitely believe in a higher power, and that the universe itself is the supreme "God" and that life is a constant state of balancing and experiencing. I believe that there is a possibility of multiple deities, I have belief in spirits, angels, and other supernatural beings. I also believe in reincarnation (but we don't cross-species) and I hold respect for many of the world's teachers (Buddha, Jesus), but I don't believe any of them are or were deities incarnate. I also don't believe "good and evil" is a "black and white" view but rather the intention behind it, and that there is no "eternal heaven" or "eternal hell", but more of a universal process of "rinse and repeat" and that time in general is more like a wheel than linear. What religion/belief (or religions) would you consider my view? Please be respectful, I'm not asking what you think of my beliefs or whether or not you consider them "right" or "wrong" or what religion/belief you think I should adhere to, but just based on the facts of what I'm saying. I was raised Roman Catholic, and studied a lot of New Age books and philosophies as well as Wicca and Eclectic Paganism. I think most religions have good points but none of them have all the answers. Robert- nice try, been there seen that, not interested in any religion that claims its the "only" truth (aka fundamentalist christianity) Ceiling Cat- took the test lol, came out Neo-Pagan, New Age, Unitarian Universalist (not surprisingly). I just wanted to know how others would percieve my view Servant Leader- what does it take to learn the answer "NO!"? Please read the first paragraph in my details. I'm not interested in Christianity, I'm not interested in fundamentalism, I'm not interested in being "saved" or "born-again", get it right.

1. You're a pantheist, for the most part.
2. somewhat agnostic.
3. Generic deism.
4. Check this site out. It might help you sort things out or get a better idea. http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx If you like, post your results and compare them to the replies you receive.
5. I would consider your religious belief to be your business--until you start annoying me with your nonsense.
6. I think you might want to look into some pagan religions. im wiccan, and i hold the same beliefs. but you should definately look into some Pagan religions
7. www.procon.org has lists of religion that you might find helpful
8. You sound like a New Ager, especially with the "take what I want, and leave the rest" attitude. You are a pantheist if you believe the universe is god, but not if you believe in actual deities too. That's more of a panentheistic viewpoint. You might like Wicca or some other variety of Pagan religion, because they hold some beliefs in common with what you believe.
9. idk maybe a buddhist? read this article it has quite a few of your beliefs in some way or another... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism
10. i don`t care who you are but you have to watch this video all of it http://youtube.com/watch?v=RQTALEIMRKY then tell me what you think
11. how abt hinduism?
12. Well friend... if you want my honest opinion... it seems that you really don't know what you believe. The real question here should be "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY?" Are you aware that you are toying / gambling with your soul here? The eternal life is where true life begins... this temporary earthly life is AN AUDITION FOR ETERNITY.... which means each one of us has ONE CHANCE to get it right. I advise you to stop listening to others, and get busy seeking the truth for yourself instead of trusting your soul with hearsay from others. I will be glad to help you seek what I have found to be truth to the point I have bet everything on it... please email me and we can talk about this... it is not fun and games.... this is as real as it gets!
13. well i don't know if there is one. you can maybe look for a test to take online that will categorize it. i dunno, it can just be your own personal religion. nothing wrong with that
14. Your very close to Hinduism, definitely not Buddhist or Christian (christians having one deity and Buddhists no creator god). Yep, seems to fit very well with Hinduism. Go for it!
15. Since you believe that the universe is the supreme God itself you are a Pantheist who also happens to believe in spirits/non-biological beings
