Not just deists and agnostics, but there are plenty of theists whose beliefs don't fit into a specific religion.

Agreed. Then again, there may be people inside of religious organizations who still wear that label despite being atheist. If you asked me to which religion I belong, I will say Judaism. But I don't believe in the existence of god. There are most definitely others. I don't tend to see surveys where you can choose both.
