 I think I have not come across any word for a non-religious
person who believes in GOD!  If there is one please let me know. 


During my childhood in Germany, there was a small minority of people, who were 
not religious,

but could not bring themselves to deny the existence of God.  They called 
themselves

gottgl ubig or (I do not know how umlauts will show up on cryonet) gottglaeubig,
meaning

literally godbelieving.  I was raised as such. But even there I found it better 
understood, if I
declared myself konfessionslos (nondenominational)
Best,
Olaf
