Bullshit. Theism = belief in God, just as Atheism = disbelief / non-belief in God. Theism is not specific about kinds of Gods, just as Atheism is not specific about kinds of Gods.
Deism, for instance, is a theistic belief, yet most (if not all) deists believe in an impersonal God, who cares either very little or not at all about the goings on of humans, or the rest of the universe at large. You can't round up all the "personal God" Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc under the banner of "theism"; it doesn't work that way.
