I took theism to mean belief in and worship of a personal god, (which is religion), and atheism do be the negation of theism.
It doesn't exclude deists. There's no requirement in the definition of theism that one worship a god one believes exists. A person can be a 'mere theist' who believes some sort of God exists (not necessarily a non-interfering deistic one) without being too worried about the nature of that God. I'd say a lot of agnostic theists fall under that category.

TRUE
"theist" has a definition.
now can you define any rational reason, lets say using physics, that could lead someone down the path to "believing in something". Having no idea other than 'nothing' has no observational evidence. And "something" does.
