 All I am stating that I am a theist with no association with any religion, there is no redefining.


I agree. 

Theism is nothing more than a belief in at least one god.

There is no requirement within theism to follow or belong to any religion. Nor is any dogma or doctrine required.

The only thing I have to add, is that out of the great many people that claim to be theists, without belonging or following a religion, whenever I have pinned them down on describing the god that they actually believe exists, it turns out to be amazingly similar to the Christian god.

 What is a Christian God?  Please elaborate what you have understood and/or come across from others.
