Not necessarily theists, but they are using the word in an imprecise way. The sense in which they are using it is 'no physical substance', but the way they are using it seems to imply that they are just talking about being energy and not mass...but energy is physical, that's what is causing confusion. I don't blame them, English has a limited vocabulary for things that are composed of energy in space/time that is not matter that isn't also used to describe spirits. I don't think anyone should get hung up on the use of the word 'immaterial' in this instance. We know what was meant.
Quantum Foam seems to check a lot of the boxes for the God that Belaqua is describing.
