Something like that, and also it depended on the definition of god.

Theism itself is just the belief that god exists, but most beliefs about god go beyond that and make positive claims about that god's interactions with reality which can be evaluated.

If your definition of god includes that the god will appear if you say their name 3 times, that's an easily testable claim.
