I don't know how the Universe works, but l don't believe in any of the over 4,000 gods humans have come up with, so l am not sure what that makes me, and l don't care.

There is good possibilities they are higher powers in action in degrees. Some may not been discovered well enough, such as higher energy, subconscious mind, imagination, Aliens , personal growth and so on. I'm an agnostic in the sense that religion and federal level politics are ugly fairytales. As nationalism is more dangerous than religion. The only true God for most is the Government. So sad.

No one is above me or below me. So higher power more so comes from the source of good intention and action of relationships, nature and good sense.
