Fair enough and one's take on something is important to consider. Once you depart from scripture, an interpretation on what exactly a free thought "ism" means is up for grabs to some extent.
My wife is an atheist who believes in ghosts. I'm a deist who doesn't believe in the supernatural, including an afterlife. One could exist for all I know but I lack a belief in such things. You'd probably be happier in a relationship with a female analog of me.
