What is theism?
Theism is the belief in God. There are two main types: monotheism, which is the belief in one God, and polytheism, which is the belief is many gods. Christianity, Judaism, and… Islam are all examples of monotheism, while Hinduism is an example of polytheism. Another Answer (posted by AustralianAstronomer, 6th December 2009). Derived from the Greek words; theos (god) and theoi (gods). Theism can be defined as follows; Belief that there is a God, Belief that there are Gods, Godly. Theism can be subdivived into monotheism (belief that there is one God) or polytheism (belief that there is more than one God). There are also different conceptions of a God; theistic (a God that does intervene in the course of human affairs) or deistic (a God that does not intervene in the course of human affairs). A pantheistic God does manifest through every aspect of the universe as a conscious being (space, time, matter, energy, mass). Hence the term, "all is god, god is all". Contrary to popular belief, theism does not necessarily equate to religion. Buddhism, Jainism and Taoism are non-theistic religions. Furthermore, not all theists are affiliated with an organised religion. (MORE)

What is the difference between theism and deism?
Theism is a belief in a God or gods, who created and now control the universe and usually intercede in human affairs. When used in relationship with deism, it usually refers …to the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The concept of deism arose during the Enlightenment as a minimalist interpretation of Christianity, as attempts were made to establish a rational basis for faith. Because the concept of a God who intervenes in human affairs seems unsupportable, the notion developed of a creator God who, having created the world, took no further part in world affairs. Deism is thus a form of monotheism in which any notion of special revelation is impossible, and the nature of the god can only be known through reason and observation from nature. A deist rejects the miraculous and the claim to knowledge made for religious groups and texts. Several of the Founding Fathers of the United States appear to have been deists. (MORE)
