Agnostic means believing there is no way of knowing, and, doubting the existense of god. Athiests believe there is no god.

I believe very strongly in a higher power, a sort of macrocosmic entity, or a god if you will, and I feel a strong spiritual connection, but I don't follow any specific religion, and most likely never will.

Is there a word for my convictions?

You're a theist.

But here's something just to play around with. Belief O' Matic (http://tinyurl.com/gavd)
