Yep. http://drcnet.org/wol/203.html (the current Drug Reform
Coordination Network newsletter, highly recommended) has many
interesting reactions to 9/11 from drug reformers. Some seem wary
of calling out the WoD-terrorism link, unfortunately IMO.

Unfortunately, quite a few people seem to have found or rediscovered
their belief in a god/higher power in the aftermath of this tragedy.
I've been trying to find a label for people who have such a belief
but don't believe in the mythology of any specific religion.

"Non-creedal theist" or "non-denominational theist" might work,
though I get the impression that [non]creedal and [non]denominational
have fairly specific meanings among protestant christians.
"Non-religious theist" or plain "theist" don't sound right either,
as religiousness and theism appear to be synonyms.
