Very well said. The only thing I would add is that the Stoic conception of Zeus is far closer in style to animism than it is to monotheism - Zeus was characterized by the Stoics as a very non-human force, one and the same with Logos or universal Reason. So even in this regard the modern usage of the words "intelligent design" though technically accurate, misleads most due to modern association with creationists and their anthro-centric view. It is worth noting that many concepts the ancient Greeks invented have no close - and in some cases not even an approximate - analog in modern English.
