Strangely you describe yourself as a Deist and yet this is the argument one would expect from a theist.
None of the arguments appear to hold much water. There is no evidence of God, as you say. Morality, therefore is not evidence of God.
Now you could be an agnostic theist I suppose - based on that funny feeling that there has to be something out there but at best its a 50:50 shot and to describe yourself as an agnostic atheist just means you've chosen one option of two at that point.
And none of this addresses the key question (presumably) which is: Assuming a theist God - which one?
You could do it on the basis of popularity - unless you do have some morality left in which case its hard to imagine a less moral religion that Catholicism.
That is, until you look at Islam. Now they are really convinced Allah is the one true God and Mohamed is his prophet. They are so convinced they fly planes into buildings full of people. Peachy!
Protestantism? Too many versions to choose from (40,000 plus?)
Judaism? Unless you are born into it they politely tell you to fuck off.
Buddhism? Doesn't really have a God as such - may as well stick with agnostic atheism.
Hinduism? Why have one God - get loads of them.
Jainism? See Buddhism - and they won't so much as swat a mosquito which I do with abandon whenever possible.
Anything else(ism)? Actually less popular than atheism anyway.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
