i do have a problem with your definition of theism though, deism should more fit the bill for that kind of assertion. A theist, in the most widely used sense, is a monotheist and believes that God was the creator of the universe and is still around.
Deism can be used sort of as a placeholder for values yet unknown, the "how" of universal origins, rather than the "why", which is what theism tends to deliver.
