I draw from elements of Deism, Hinduism, and Quaker/Friends style Christianity.
I do think there is a higher power, basically the universe itself, though I don't think there's all that much reason for it to overly concern itself with us.
I do believe that there was likely a really good spiritual leader named Christ who tried to steer people in the right direction a couple thousand years ago. Unfortunately his immediate followers (notably the apostles) used his death as the means to grab power for themselves and set up a church full of people who've kept doing that for ages now.
I think there is much to be learned from ancient knowledge, though of course it can't be applied to today's world literally.
