There is some controversy as to how devout Darwin was (especially at the end of his life), but what I think is interesting is that he (for all intents and purposes) settled a running argument in the editorial page of a london newspaper over the validity of Christian mission work. He said that any shipwrecked sailor finding himself on an unknown island would know he was safe if the natives had a church, otherwise he should consider himself fair game.

Pick up a copy of the Descent of Man and read it and you will see that Darwin dispenses entirely of the need for God.
