Why do you think it is more akin to theism?
I think we can all agree that Atheism is literally a rebellious attitude as that to question a traditional approach. And Theism is more like following a traditional approach without question.
Don't you think this whole concept of design is a new take on an outlook challenging the traditional approach? (I think I'm probably the only guy that thinks this design and shit is real.)
Your approach is pure theism because you are supposing that there is a creator which made the universe and continues to interfere in its creation. You are positing a god figure. That is the essence of theism.
And despite your misconception theism is not necessarily traditional in nature. Some theisms are quite innovative.
