Is there such thing as adeism?

There must be, since Theists believe in both God and religion, Atheists reject both, deists believe in a god but also in secularism. Hence adeists would have to believe that religion is mandatory, but also that god is not almighty.

    There might be such a thing as adeism,

    but we have, so far,

    not needed a word for that,

    because people,

    who claim to be deists,

    have so very seldom,

    been a dick about that belief.

    Not all theists are members of a particular religion.  Theism is simply the acceptance that God does exist.  Both religious people and non-religious people can be theists.  A Deist accepts that God does exist but He is not a "personal" being that interacts with mankind.  Secularism is a more modern term that does not affirm nor deny the existence of God.

    There is no such thing as "adeism", nor would it make any sense.

    Nope, not yet, but I can see you're working hard to establish it.
