Feynman didn't believe in God. He once said that the Christian view of "one of the aspects of God coming to the Earth" "wasn't in proportion"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeCHiUe1et0/</ref>

Feynman didn't believe in an [[Abraham]]ic God, but felt that belief in God was entirely consistent with science.<ref name="dcb">https://davidcycleback.com/2020/05/30/the-religious-views-of-six-famous-physicists/</ref> Feynman rejected any suggestion that science might disprove the existence of God and instead Feynman took more of a [[probability|probabilistic]] approach:

{{cquote|I do not believe that science can disprove the existence of  God (in the traditional Abrahamic view); I think that is impossible. And if it is impossible, is not a belief in science and in a God — an ordinary God of religion — a consistent possibility? Yes, it is consistent. Despite the fact that I said that more than half of the scientists don’t believe in God, many scientists do believe in both science and God, in a perfectly consistent way.<ref name="dcb"/>}}

On the contrary, God was always invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time—life and death—stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore, I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out.
