Well, no.
If one holds a belief in a god or gods, they are not an atheist, regardless of their views on naturalism.
If a deist believes in god, they are not an atheist. If they do not believe in god, then they don't even believe in their own reasoning for the existence of god. Which would mean they're not a deist.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
