You are not a deist, you are an atheist who simply wants your sense of awe to mean something more than "wow".
If you don't buy into an invisible being, and simply chalk it up to what humans want to be, then you cannot be even a deist.
It is nothing more than human imagination, that is the only "god" there is. Which is our imagination, not a god.
It is humans mistaking our wishes for reality.
Einstein treated god as a metaphor too. But that does not make any god real. It only means that humans have vivid imaginations.
The idea of a non material thinking entity a "something" with no location or description is ripe for the proxy war of people who want power, not evidence, and is fueled by the desire of being the alpha male.
