I know of no religions with God concepts that involve a God who created the universe and then left it alone entirely.

Deism. Of late, sometimes known as Sklanskianity.

And the beliefs that describe various forms of Deism really make it a philosophy and not a religion. That is, not a religion as other religions are. For if a god created the world and then left it alone, there is no need for doctrine, worship, prayer or rituals of any kind. The things that a religion is known by and which separate it from other religions.

To me, Deism is just a sophisticated form of agnosticism.
