Not at all sure what the hell theists are even claiming to believe in. I can't imagine what would or would not confirm the existence of a 'god'. If one materialized in front of me my first thought would be that I was hallucinating or dreaming. But even if something 'really' materialized in front of me, I still would not know if it was one of these 'god'-things. No clear and coherent definition exists. Perhaps it is just an advanced alien or unknown earth being?
That said, I'm fine with people interpreting and making sense of their consciousness any way they like. Call part of it god? Fine with me. So long as no one becomes imperialist about insisting everyone accept their interpretation of 'god', I really don't care if they want to emboss their belief with omni-powers, eternality and creator credentials. I will go on thinking all that is bat shit crazy but fine with me if they disagree.
I'm not willing to follow every variation of the question in the OP. This is all the answer I've got.
