That's sort of like saying that "theism" isn't religion until it has a "denomination" advocating it.
Religion is better defined by the organizing of one's world that it grants to the adherent, and by the answers to the traditional "ultimate" questions that it posits.

Um, theism isn't a religion. Theism is merely belief in a god or gods. It's far too generic and inspecific to be "religion".
