Most of the time, people that can be categorized as using personal theism, follow the ideas of an already existent massive religion or other preexistent form of spirituality, but with some small/big differences (within a very different range of creativity and individuality). Creating a system of ideas (ideology, believe system) from scratch is pretty hard and time consuming, so what they usually do is to take a old ideology and make some changes (upgrade it).
We don't follow others (we are sovereign creators), but we can take some ideas from others and integrate them in our system (integration). We can have followers too, in other words, people that can follow our work (for very different reasons) but they don't want to get involve too much.
