I’d be an agnostic theist: meaning I don’t know for sure but I lean towards there being a God or that the universe is God or that we exist as an idea in the mind of God.

There don't seem to be many theists on here. Which is fine, but I don't think that'll make for an active discussion about this.

I'm a pantheist, I believe that the universe is God itself and God is the universe itself. We are part of the universe and that means we are God too. For me, God is just a concept not a a single entity that separated from universe.

This discussion obviously didn't seem to hit off but I'd still like to add my opinion. Obviously, as a Muslim of the Akhbari creed I am a theist, there aren't many theists on this site, but I still love my atheist brothers and sisters and have many atheist friends as at the end of the day, we're all humans.  I'm a theist as I see flaws within the atheist view of life, and I am sure many atheists will see flaws in the theist view of life as religion and philosophy is both subjective and objective. If anyone would want to discuss the existence of God with me please IM me, I've written many articles on this in the past.

Monotheism actually makes the most sense out of any form of theism and especially compared to any form of atheism/agnosticism.

This book changed my life, it's a great reference for how to logically break that down:
