Theism is entirely JUSTIFIED as a belief. No theist is doing anything wrong epistemically by believing. I defy you to SHOW OTHERWISE.

You are so arrogant as to believe that something YOU don’t accept to be true is therefore UNJUSTIFIED.

But anyone can say that about anything.
I will use your logic:

I do not accept atheism.
THEREFORE atheism is unjustified.

Q.E.D.
You might say that theism is not DEMONSTRATED, but that is a VERY different claim to calling it UNJUSTIFIED.

I would dispute the claim it is UNDEMONSTRATED, noting that often

1 atheists misdefine “demonstration"
2 atheists reject cogent demonstrations by acts of will
The following are true:

1 Theism is entirely epistemically JUSTIFIED
2 No theist NEEDS to have recourse do DEMONSTRATION as the basis of their JUSTIFICATION, and few do
3 Theism is demonstrable and demonstrated, although this isn’t very important
Here is a passage from Alvin Plantinga that is very illuminating on the question of whether a believer is within his or her epistemic rights.
