Corypheus, a magister/darkspawn, entered the Black City, the game's equivalent of real life's Heaven, and he found the thrones empty.
Therefore, he decided that he would become a god in a world where people prayed and did not have their prayers answered because there were no gods to answer those prayers.
In essence, doesn't him making himself a god make him a theist?
After all, in our world today merely the belief in a god makes one a theist, even if there is no evidence of that god's existence.
Yes, if you believed that you were god, you'd be a Theist. Also mentally ill.
I prefer to think of my divine self as "reality challenged".

Go ahead! Declare yourself a god! Now, how many of your friends will pick up the check?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Or a theistic atheist!!
