I would say deists would be more like atheists if they abandon the notion that others ought to have some obligation to deist's own set of core beliefs even if the deists themselves continue to feel obligated by those set of core beliefs.

One becomes a full on theists only when one feels others ought to share in some of the obligation one feels one has to one's own core beliefs.
