He actually fell more into the agnostic, deist role. A famous quote by Hawking:
"the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws."

“He actually fell more into the agnostic....”
That’s more what I would have expected. The view that God does not intervene to break the laws is interesting, but all that we know is based at least in part in what we have been able to observe. Just because we haven’t seen instances in which the ‘Laws’ we’ve devised to explain observed phenomena don’t apply doesn’t mean that exceptions to these Laws don’t exist.
except when He does... i do like that quote...
