All he really did was reject Christianity in later life because he disagreed with the doctrine of hell. If you read the Origin of Species he used the word God quite a lot in there.
He said god in his book, so what? He was also talking about his objections to christianity. This was in a time that going against the main religion at least would be dangers in different ways. He stepped on the religious tounge when he presented his work, don't you think it would be a big deal? Religion that his family (who pretty much paid for his education in at least one already failed career). But no he mentions god in his book and surely it is logical to conclude how he felt about mean ol atheists.
