If you're saying that theism = creationism, then you're certainly not using "creationism" in the most commonly understood sense (opposition to evolution). If a theist who accepts macroevolution is still labeled a creationist because he believes that God is the "first cause" in how the universe got here, then the term "creationism" won't have much (if any) value in discussions of religion.
Good point. So I guess I’m just asking who here is an actual creationist? I assume the majority of theists are (when I was a theist, I was also a creationist), but I may very well be mistaken. Even in the USA, it looks like it's only a very slim majority: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_of_evolution_by_religious_groups
Personally I've only met two theists who denied evolution. One was American. The other had a lot of crazy ideas - her views on evolution were the tip of the iceberg.
