This isn't strictly true.His theory of god was more of a 'energy in the universe' style thing at the most, and his talk of it is often misinterpreted.
Don't forget how religious American society was (and still is). It's always been hard in that country for successful people to openly doubt god.

Well if you read some of what he had said, he frequently says he is an agnosticbut because he doesn't believe in a god of fate and control that interferes with Human's existence, but he still says he believes in the old intangiable gassy sky beast.
Also as Bertrand Russell questioned whether he was an atheist or an agnostic to my memory, the area is generally a fuzzy one. Because people generally determine the difference by agnostics not being able to have proof that god doesn't exist and thus having no conviction of it, but at the same time I can't prove conclusively that there aren't giant intangiable floating teapots in my room - doesn't mean I am inherently unsure about this fact though.
