Try the term "Deist" as well. It refers, from what I recall, to someone who believes in "God", but follows no religion nor accepts any religion as being the true expression of "God".
Could be wrong on this, as it has been quite some time since knowing the definitions of such things meant anything to me (ie college), but it still may be the correct term.
Many of the Founding Fathers and their peers were Deists, as the Protestant Movement hadn't really hit the Americas yet, and the Catholic Church was not quite popular amongst many of those in the social strata of the Founders. (again, based on vague memories of college)
