Theism is a belief in a personal and interceding deity which actively participates in the world and our lives. It is a comment on a type of god and what god means defined by further beliefs, additional to and from deism.
I know it's pedantic, but it's useful to know.
(it also helps to explain why pantheism is not pandeism...pantheism asserts that nature/universe, like a personal god, is an actual necessary being..and, ofc, that it actively participates in our lives - how could nature not..right. )
