I don't really like talking to theists about their beliefs so much as I find it as a source of disagreement which many people are unable to find the contradictions and it just turns to arguments, especially online.
But Deism, the idea that a god might exist but he might not be involved with us is something which is pretty interesting which I fill definitely is slipped from many discussions about theism.
I feel like there were many such alternatives to Deism as well which fall short of theism/atheism and I really liked the nuance each one captures but unfortunately I forgot the name of many but definitely remember Deism.
