He certainly doesn't suggest god is anything like the major religions try to portray he/she/it as (hell fire & brimstone, smoting in the name of love, 7-day creation, 3000 year old planet and all that). But he doesn't deny the existence of a god force either, unless I totally misinterpreted Hawking. As I understood it he views science as god's greatest work.
And yes, I certainly hope he's okay too. He's one of the few people who redeem our pathetic species.
