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"/>}}

The quote below in 1981 below from Feynman about his preference to focus on issues he can figure out may be a more precise explanation of his religious views late in life, rather than labeling him as an "atheist" as some websites do. The quote attributed to Feynman as being an "avowed atheist" was as a young man, when a rebellious attitude is common among many, particularly in a university culture. At age 13, as his parents regularly attended a synogogue every Friday, Feynment said later that he rejected that "Jewish people are in any way 'the chosen people'"
