I mean, a deist still believes in God.

It's funny you think it's a "PR Team" that has contributed to it.
Ah, what a magical worldview you must have.

HBO doesn't give a rip about morality, ethics, the family, or anything like that.
If they could get away with showing people getting their heads cut off and it would churn dollars, they would do it.

Yes, he would not have fit into the "Christian box" that exists in modern American culture, nor would have a lot of ancient Christians. He, like most of the deists, still believed in God – just not quite as "structured" as we have these days.
Even C.S. Lewis, who is uplifted by evangelicals, had some very different views about God that they would find strange.
The problem is that – like everything else, Christianity has been broken up into nice and neat little boxes. God simply will not fit in these.
