Theistic means believing in a god or gods, in a divine existence. Atheistic is denying, not accepting the existence of anything like that.
Non-theistic beliefs encompass a broader range of perspectives that do not involve a belief in a specific deity or higher power, while atheistic beliefs specifically reject the existence of any deity or higher power.
Jean-Paul Sartre is known as the father of atheistic existentialism. He was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who explored themes of freedom, responsibility, and the absence of a higher power in his works.
Theistic dualism is the belief that there are two opposing forces in the universe, usually a good force and an evil force, both controlled by a higher power or deity. This differs from other philosophical beliefs, such as monism, which believe in a single ultimate reality, and atheism, which denies the existence of any deity or higher power.
Philosophers throughout history have had varied beliefs about gods. Some believed in the existence of gods as divine beings that govern the universe, while others were agnostic or atheistic, denying the existence of gods. Philosophers like Plato and Aristotle explored the nature of gods and their roles in shaping the world and human behavior.
Existentialism is a term that is applied to the writings of a number of 19th and 20th century philosophers who had widely different doctrinal differences but generally held that people are entirely free and thus responsible for what they make of themselves. There were different views amongst existential philosophers as to the existence of God and the potential consequences. There were theistic and atheistic existentialists. The term arose in the mid twentieth century. The early 19th century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is held to be the father of existentialism and he maintained in his writings that the individual is solely responsible for giving her or his own life meaning and for living life with passion and sincerity. Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) are considered to be fundamental to the existentialist movement.

Both theistic & atheistic Satanism.
Theistic - believes in a God or gods Agnostic - does not believe it possible to know if there is a god (or gods) Atheistic - believes there is no god or gods.
Theists belive in some sort of supernatural being or god. Atheists do not. As a consequence atheists must rely on their own judgement to determine a path between self-interest and altruistic behaviour. Theist are unable to make this judgement and rely on instructions provided by a religion which claimes to have all of the answers.
Theistic refers to the belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially a personal god who interacts with and influences the world. It is the opposite of atheistic, which denotes a lack of belief in any gods.
Materialism in its strictest sense refers to a world view according to which matter is the sole reality, and all things, beings and processes can be explained and accounted for in terms of material reality and phenomenon. Theism stands for belief in a supreme Being or God who is distinct or other from material reality, and is the cause or creator of matter. Paul Tillich, American theologian, probably, would say that God is Being-itself, or that God is the power of being, and ground of being of both material and non-material reality. Spinoza identified universe and nature with God. Hindu philosophy of advaita monism looks at material reality as an illusion. Theistic materialism would claim that matter is real, not an illusion, but it has been created by a superior reality of the Spirit. Matter can be controlled to manifest and incarnate the beauty of God. The terms 'atheistic materialism' and 'theistic materialism' have been used in philosophy. See, e.g., Robert C. Koons writes, "Philosophically, theistic materialism is a more coherent position than atheistic materialism, for the theist has an explanation for the three central facts that atheistic materialists must accept as brute facts." Koons, Robert C. Science and Theism: Concord not Conflict. http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/philosophy/faculty/koons/science.pdf., p.19. (Accessed on 21 September, 2007.) Another interseting book that has been recently published and which speaks on this topic is: Theistic Dialectical Materialism by James Singh, published at lulu.com. Atheistic materialists would deny the existence of God. Theistic materialism believes in God's existence, and claims that matter is subordinate to God,s purposes. The present writer encourages you to look for the terms 'Christian materialism' and 'theistic evolution' in Wikipedia. By J Chrysostom
There are gay, straight, bisexual Hindus. There are theistic, atheistic, deistic Hindus. There are really religious and non-religious Hindus. Hindus have all sorts of different lifestyles, depending on the particular Hindu.
Two of the best online resources are the Wikipedia entry for Satanism, and the website of Ontario Consultants for Religious Tolerance. Both largely succeed in avoiding any particular bias. After checking these sources, you will know more about the subject, and be able to tell the difference between atheistic and theistic varieties of Satanism.
I don't know of any that actually discourage a deity, but there are several that are atheistic and do not contain gods within the religion. Buddhism for example is a non-theistic religion. So too is Jainism, Taoism, Animism, and Confucianism.
It's not a law. Materialism and atheism don't necessarily have anything to do with each other; theistic materialism exists, and the materialism part is still the same (it's incidental that there is or isn't a god involved). See "What is Materialism?" to better understand that part.
Answer By definition creationism is theistic.
