*”theism” is broadly defined as the ‘belief’ in the ‘existence’ of a ‘deity’ or ‘multiple deities’*
.
(in ‘popular parlance’, or when contrasted with deism, the term often describes the ‘classical conception’ of ‘god'(s) that is found in ‘monotheistic’ and ‘polytheistic’ religions; a belief in a ‘god’ or in ‘gods’ without the rejection of ‘revelation’ as is characteristic of ‘deism’)
(“atheism” is commonly understood as rejection of ‘theism’ in the broadest sense of ‘theism’, i.e. “the rejection of belief in a ‘god’ or ‘gods'”)
(the claim that the existence of any ‘deity’ is ‘unknown’ or ‘unknowable’ is ‘agnosticism’)
(“…at least ‘for now’…”)
