The above is -all- that;s being asked about when someone asks whether or not you are an atheist, a deist, or a theist (gnostic or agnostic).  We can wiggle, but we can't leave the field...or else our descriptor no longer refers to it's subject.  Do I think that there is a creative force?  Plenty, you'll need to be more specific.  None of them are gods.

As I said before, if you present to me a series of specific God ideas, I'm likely atheist on all of them.

But you are missing a couple important ones, at least important to me: 1) a pure universe-creating deity, divorced from humanity; 2) a panpsychic super-mind; 3) a normal mortal being so vastly great and intelligent than us that we cannot distinguish it from something like a Biblical god.

As for linking dictionaries. . . come on, dude.  Does one or two lines in a dictionary really capture the essence of that word?  Nah. . . It lets children and ESL student understand what the word means when it pops up in their beginning-level conversations.
