No, but convincing evidence for it might change my mind.

I would risk a large bet however that you won't find it.

Ietsism (pronounced eetsism in accordance with Dutch orthographic conventions) can be summed up wholly as a belief or a theory that there is some sort of higher force, or more to the universe than meets the eye.

That's perhaps a better term than my 'Sortagod -agnosticism'. But means essentially the same.

While we skeptics might disbelieve the claim, we are fairly cool with it as it is likely to have a degree of 'Irreligion' about that kind of Theism. And that puts they and us (atheists) very much on the same page.

The 'Cultural Catholicism' (as our pal Julian might put it) is not a problem. Any more than I suppose my 'Cultural anglicanism' (or indeed preferred cultural Buddhism) would be a problem for you.
