I'm going to have to side with the hoary hobbit on this one (with respect to the analogy).
A theistic religion might satisfy the criteria for being a philosophy, but theism (see note below) doesn't, as (like atheism) it only represents an answer to the question "Do you believe any gods exist?".

the belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation ( distinguished from deism ).
2.
belief in the existence of a god or gods ( opposed to atheism ).
I think I might have gotten confused... I thought that the opposite was meant. As in Theism = philo because off=tv channel... in which what I said would have been appropriate. However.. I don't it is anymore. I'm really hyper.
