Atheist covers adeism. There's no need for the word "adeism".

A deist believes in a supreme being who created the universe, but who has no direct role in the affairs of humans. So an 'adeist' would be... someone who thinks the universe came into existence through natural means, that life emerged completely by accident, and that our species evolved over millions of years according to Natural Selection, but there's a God who will grant miracles at the drop of a hat.
Not surprisingly, there aren't a lot of adeists.

One who does not believe there exists an impersonal diety that started the universe and left it. Deism is the belief there was an impersonal first cause that then left and has not been seen sense, this first cause is the creator.
An adeist would be one who believes in no divine power at all. Theos in Greek actually isn't "God," but rather a powerful being. Satan is a theos in koine Greek.

Deism is a subset of theism. So it is already covered.
