I'm generally more interested in what a person does with their theism, since I recognize that theism itself doesn't really say much on its own; religion is so often a mirror that reflects back what a person already believes, with the added magic authority of a god. My mother-in-law uses her- increasingly vague- religious beliefs to do good, and generally to be a supportive person. My brother-in-law uses his to brag endlessly about being filled with the holy spirit and make rude, disparaging comments to his mom about who she is.
That does more to inform my opinions of them than simply knowing they both believe in god.
