Not all religions are "theistic".

A religion is not a theism.

Theism, though, just about always causes the formation of a religion.

It might help to look up "theism", which is a belief...

and compare it to "religion," which is an organized system...

They're not mutually exclusive terms.

There are polytheistic religions too. And nontheistic religions.

Difference of atheistic and theistic?

Theistic individuals believe in the existence of a god or gods, while atheistic individuals do not believe in any gods. Theistic beliefs often stem from religious teachings and texts, while atheism is often based on skepticism, logic, and a lack of evidence for the existence of deities. These differing belief systems can shape a person's views on morality, purpose, and the nature of the universe.
