Hawking use to be more religious in the past, atleast that is what I got from some of his books and speeches.  Like Albert Einstein before him, Hawking would use God in some of his explanations, but Einstein was privately an atheist who considered religion a silly child's myth while Hawkings private ideas about religion haven't really come out (atleast to my knowledge).

I'm not sure if he was. From what I've read (and my understanding of it) he'd just use god as a concept to help get his theories across or to make his writing that bit more entertaining.
