This discussion has really ventured into deism not theism.
A born again christian is a theist, as is someone who thinks god made the universe and left it on its own. A all theist is, is someone who believes in god a deist thinks of god as more of a force.
Deism is where worldly men (and for some reason its always men, I'm sure there are strictly deist women out there, but oddly I've never read anything about one) go rather than face atheism.
They are educated and intelligent enough to see the whole flowing robes vengeful yet loving, all knowing all doing god as the mythology it is, but its hard to completely give up what you were brought up as, and the concept that something has to be the cause of existence.
Personally I think its pretty weak, just pull the trigger, and quit trusting your 'gut' that wants to believe and go with what you are afraid is true.
