I'd call them intermittently happy.

Oh, and your "imagine that one or more exist" encapsulates belief pretty well because belief is when you take something to be true when you either have insufficient evidence, or the evidence points to that thing being false. Nobody believes in things with sufficient evidence. So the people you describe are agnostic deists or theists, depending on what attributes they give their gods.
