LoL why would you think that?
In a number of interviews, he has expressed ideas about "god" where god is just a metaphor for some other concept, like achievement or status-setting, and so on. I have no doubt that he will occasionally claim to be Christian, but it's a form of Christianity that bears no resemblance to Christianity.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
