I believe that he is a great scientist and is really smart, however his attitudes towards atheism are very cowardly. In the video below he makes many cringe worthy statements. For example at around the 25 second mark he calls atheism a philosophy and claims that with it comes baggage. He also is extremely ignorant when it comes to the terms atheism and agnosticism.

I think it is time that we completely disassociate him from the atheism movement, because that is what he wants us to do. 



First off, there is no atheist movement.  That's absurd.  Secondly, Tyson, like everyone, is free to label himself however he wants to label himself.  Third, even if there was an atheist movement, which there isn't, but even if there was, there is no mechanism by which we could eject anyone from the imaginary movement so this is entirely moot.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
