The simulation hypothesis seems as theistic as the creationist hypothesis. Maybe the main difference being that with the simulation there would likely have been many creators (programmers) whereas the creationists would say there is one (although there are polytheistic creation narratives, so maybe not so different). Other than that, they both seem to fall into the theistic category since a higher intelligence is posited who created (the simulation | the real world).
