It seems to me that the theists should be classified as merely Mediocre Apes.
No. Unlike apes, the Theists form a polyphyletic group - an artificial group uniting a hodge podge of independently derived stupidities that, through convergent evolution, came to resemble each other to a superficial observer, and furthermore fail to include some otherwise similar stupidities like aliens and UFOs.
In this sense, theists are more like traditional concept of reptiles, which is also artificial grouping that unite some independently derive but similar look traits, while arbitrarily excluding others.
Damn, I should write a paper on cladistic approach to classifying theists.
