Hardly makes you a theist
How about "God is whatever philosophical principle or creative property that allows the Universe to exist?" That I believe in necessarily.
I can't envision how the human practices of philosophy or general creativity could have entered into the formation of the universe as we know it. Facts about us can explain why we perceive it as we do, but not how it got to be the way it is. Still I approve of these human practices. I just don't like to mix them with cosmology.
