That was mostly (as far as I understand it) Deism, and I don't think pure Deism fits the atmosphere of BM. But Gnosticism was Deism with extra evil supernatural beings; you could argue that the only personal Gods they believed in, they thought were evil.
No...Deism was the belief in the "watchmaker God", who created everything, then sat back and just let it go.
