Actually Hawking's was a atheist and Einstein wasn't very religious and in favor of socialism.

There's a clear delineation between the two.  Whether it was a more vague "prime mover" sort of deal, John is correct on that note.  And what does socialism have to do with it?  There are deeply religious people who also favor such a system.

I think it has to do with the common belief that socialism is an explicitly atheistic ideology.
