From your description I would call you a Deist. You are in very good company, most of America's Founding Fathers were Deists. God got the ball rolling but leaves plenty of latitude for humans to work out their problems.

I always chose to be christian holding on to the basic core beliefs, I certainly view all organised religion with deep suspicion and I don't want to be part of it but rather keep them at arm's length. There just may exist some decent groups out there, I don't know.
As with the JWs receiving any spiritual benefit from them always carries a terrible enough sting in the tail. And the JWs are always accusing all other religions of being Babylon the great (spiritual whores) it's a smart thing to do by an org that is the living embodiment of all that she stands for.
I'm a believer in Christ and attend the Catholic Church.
credo in unum Deum, Patrem Omnipotentem...
Well, I suppose I'm Catholic. ...et in unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam.
