Re: Dog
A highly entertaining retort.
PersonX might be David. Maybe not !!
The likleyhood of the hypothetical PersonX being a theist by the definition below is very remote. (Even if he occasionally capitalizes the G-word.)
Much more likely, PersonX could be a Deist with some cool new contemporary features added in light of recent advances in quant physics, and still qualify as a true "believer" in a (big C) Creator.

Theism: is the belief in one or more gods or goddesses. More specifically, it may also mean the belief in God, a god, or gods, who is/are actively involved in maintaining the Universe. This secondary meaning is shown in context to other beliefs concerning the divine below
Deist: One who subscribes to or professes the belief in the existence of a personal God, based solely on the testimony of reason and rejecting any supernatural revelation; also believing that God created the world and set it into motion, subject to natural laws, but takes no interest in it.
