I think Deistic pagan is closer?
Believe in the gods but not that they are overly active in our lives.
I think we all have one god or goddess that is active in our lives for the entirety of our lives. Our Patron. But I don't think that its necessarily in the day to day activities... mainly that they are there to guide us through life. Kind of like a spirit guide... but on a greater scale.
You can go to different gods, whom you feel drawn to or called to, for different areas of your life or you can choose to work with just one.
But that's just me.
I really feel everything is completely individual.
All gods to ever have been thought up... exist and there is no right or wrong way to see that god.
Even in the christian POV... not a single person has the exact same relationship, interaction, or view of "God".
Same thing for the pagan gods.
I think it a bit arrogant to project your belief and practices as the only "right" way because spirituality is so personal and individual. How one god/dess works with a person could be totally different than how they work with another. Each soul is unique, ergo that deity may have a totally different strategy when working with them.
As long as that individual is happy, fulfilled, and has a good relationship with that god... who are we to judge?
When not dealing with organized religion (and depending on the organized religion) there is no wrong way. Everyone has a path and i'm so tired of people judging others for it.
