Namaste:
My explorations have resulted in the following discoveries:

Cacodemon - Theistic
Thed - Theistic, Animistic
Bagog - Animistic
Malia - Animistic, Theistic
Vivamort - Sorcerous
Thanatar - Sorcerous, Theistic, Animistic - do recall, that Third Age Thanatar is a Godlearner amalgamation of Than, Tien, and Atyar.

In the end though, these distinctions won't matter after Sedenya heals all of these entities and shows them that We Are All Us. ("In The End, the Victory Shall Be Ours."

Praise Her!
