just because i use the label of God doesnt mean i think thats the best word for the unknown being i just use that word as a generic description of just something outside my own mind 'outside intelligence' is a better word its just longer than 'God' intelligence of some kind i dont claim to know anything about it so it could be any of the things youve listed or something similar to one of those things but not exact and im sure is more complex than we can imagine .
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today 
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
