Because I thought that once you start believing in a creator you are already giving him an identity. Or in most cases you start believing in the identity it is teached to you from the religious people that you interact.
You may not have encountered people who believe in a nebulous, undefined God of whose purpose and will they don't claim to have knowledge. It's often phrased as 'I believe in...Something out there, behind all this, man.' Such people are usually not what could reasonably be described as 'religious'. I suppose they could be described as 'agnostic theists'.

So they start either accepting or giving him attributes, about there is a purpose for their creations, and about there are things that your deity don't like, and about the elements that your deity represents.
That's very common, but it's not universal. Iceland, for instance, seems to be chock full of 'Somethingists'.

In general. Neither theism nor atheism are religions, they are differing opinions on one topic. Mere theism doesn't imply religion. Lots of people believe in 'some sort of God' without being religious.

I'm not sure it's flawed, but it can't be applied to everyone who believes there's a God.
Anyone who holds a belief that one religious text takes precedence over another does not fit in this category.
