Demon haunted world was one of his last books written in 95 and it was written as a book on skepticism and not Atheism. I haven't read it but I did read Dragon's of Eden, Broca's Brain and Contact as well as Cosmos. Those books came out in the late 70's and I liked them all and have so much respect for Sagan's ability to bring science to non scientists and do it (usually) entertainingly.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
