You deffinately sound pagan. Its a really flexible religion with a wide variety of beliefs such as reincarnation, one or many gods, and spirits. Their definition of god is also flexible. Some believe that god is a person, others believe that it is what most call mother nature and some believe that its this sort of unexplained spirit that surrounds the earth. I suggest googling the religion and do some research. I think you'll find that you have a lot of their beliefs.

Theists believe in a god or gods.
Monotheists believe in only one God.
Polytheists believe in many gods.
Pantheists believe that God, literally IS the world. The Universe = God.
Atheists don't believe in God or any other deities. Period.
Although you will find some atheists who might believe in reincarnation, if you believe in God, even if that God is not a 'personal god', you aren't an atheist.
From what you've said here, you are probably a Deist. Google that.
Deism is the religious or philosophical belief that a supreme being (God) created the universe and that that being doesn't require organized religion to be understood but you can use reason and observation of the natural world.
The important thing to remember about all of these titles, is that in many cases you can be more than one. A Deist is still a type of Theist as well.
