Deism isn't a form of theism, pantheism is. The clue is in...wait for it...theism.
The term atheism was coined in direct response to theistic claims, but has come to include anyone who doesn't believe in gods, including deists gods - though deists and pantheists actually have been called and considered atheists, historically.

Ah, so deist are atheist?
No, and Gae didn't say they were. He said they've been CALLED atheists (for not being conventional theists) and that is true.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
