Is he an Atheist?

Neil is spot on when he says religion diversity is what makes up the American culture. I just disagree with his point of view of "In God We Trust" being on the U.S. currecy, it wasn't there when the currency was first issued and it implies that the U.S. is a Catholic/Christian based country.

As an atheist I use the word god several times a day. It was my interest in comparative religion that made it possible for me to call myself an atheist. I like the word goddammit too. I get what Neil is saying, he's apathetic to the existence of a god. Science doesn't need to address mythologies (although it's helpful to know the greek ones). Some atheists see religious fundamentalism as a growing threat to mankind. It's not a fight he's interested in taking up.

We Stopped Dreamingby lhite190,884 views
I agree almost entirely with Tyson here, but there is one mistake he makes. Just like he says "keep religion out of the science classroom", he should say "keep religion out of the government". The government is a neutral, secular body that serves all people and all religions and cultures, and therefor, the official state currency should carry no religious symbols. Thus, it is perfectly reasonable to protest the phrase "in god we trust" by scrapping it off dollar bills. Just sayin'.

Does this mean I'm not allowed to say things like "By the hammer of Thor!" or "By the beard of Zeus!"?
Sheesh. Modern religions don't have a monopoly on the word "god". Humans have invented all kinds of gods throughout history. The modern gods are nothing special.
