If it was just the Christian God then believers in Odin and the Ancient Romans and Egyptians and so on would all be "atheists" which seems a bit silly!
Interestingly, the Romans called early Christians "atheists" because they didn't believe in the Roman pantheon.
But I think there is a real distinction between deists, who believe in a God who just creates the universe and then takes not further part in it, and theists who believe in a God who insists on being worshiped and answers prayers and performs miracles.
