I define dystheism/maltheism/misotheism as:
As senseless a question as asking how I define an 'atom' or a 'particle of matter'. I don't "define" any of them. I merely use the labels with their long-established definitions in compliance or accordance with what the dictionary says the phrases actually mean and in what context, scope and outline they should be used in.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-theism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misotheism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltheism
