A question on religious definition.?

I was just curious if there is a religion where one believes in " high powers" instead of a "god" and what religion would that be considered?

Update:

"Higher power" meaning fate or some kind of (for lack of a better term) force that binds us to everything around us.

    Per Religion, you cannot have one without the other. Spirituality, or, of the Spirit, or, of God, is Senior to everything else. Life is either Spiritual Beings, you and me, or Spiritual Beings in their Supreme State or Condition or the physical playing field created by Spirits. Cause being Spirits and Effect being the Physical World...Powers are Abilities of these Spirits, that each Spirit possesses, you and me, even though a Spirit is not using these abilities or even aware of possessing them.

    So, if you are not into traditional-dogma, you should find a Spiritual Path...

    John10:30 I and [my] Father are one.(we each can say that, because we are Spirits-Gods and not our physical human body)

    10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

    10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.

    Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (have faith in yourself as a Spiritual Being) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

    John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, (you) he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.(you as a non-physical Spiritual Being and not that physical body you see in a mirror)

    John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

    "higher powers" could mean anything, dear. You can't work with meaningless definitions.
