- 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.

No, theism being true does not necessarily mean that Christianity must also be true.

Other religions also believe in a higher power, so theism and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.
