Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I'm not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it's cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

I think you're describing agnostic beliefs, believing there might be a god but not conforming to any religion and basically otherwise being an atheist.

(Not too be confused with Gnostic beliefs, which was a branch of Christianity)

I do believe in God, I just don't believe on divine intervention.

I suggest you read up about Deism.

Definitely. That's what I was trying to remember but came up with agnostic instead. I think you hit it right on the nose.
