No, not deists. Deists believe that there is a creator God, but he doesn't interfere with our lives. The people I'm talking about are the ones that attend church, or at the very least claim themselves religious, but they aren't sure if God exists or not. I know that being unsure means you're agnostic, and some theists are agnostics, but there are agnostics that say that they imagine that a God exists, because it gives them comfort. There is a difference between imagining something for comfort and believing it. So I don't know if I can call them theists.
