All it means is anyone who baleives in at least 1 or more gods.
The video explained that theists could follow, be a part of religious rituals or be part of a religion. Is that different from being religious and part of a religious order?
It's very different. I've been part of religious rituals (got one coming up in a couple of weeks, in fact), but I'm not religious or part of a religious order.
I don't see how taking part in a religious ritual makes one a theist.
