This is offtopic hardcore, but you're wrong.
The greek word for god "theos" is written with a theta and pronounced with a theta, not a delta, always has been this way. Thus theist is right, and deism is, well, something else entirely.
Etymologically, deism isn't related to theos at all, it's root is the latin word deus, see here. Deus in turn stems from the greek Zeus, the king of the gods.
I'm not sure if such a confusion exists, since any greek word with a delta that I can currently think of, has kept the D in it's latin form, e.g. dermatology, daedalus, delphi, dynamic, et cetera.
