William Paley not only believed in God, he thought he could prove that God exists.
William Paley's argument for the existence of God is often summarized as the "watchmaker analogy." He compares the complex design of a watch to the complexity of the universe, arguing that just as a watch must have had a designer (a watchmaker), so too must the universe have had a designer (God). Paley's argument is based on the idea that complex design implies an intelligent designer.

I believe that William Paley would regard suicide as morally wrong. Mainly because he believed that happiness comes from within. Nature and Scripture provide guidelines for the "Will of God" and we are supposed to demonstrate those habits in everyday life. "The method of coming at the will of God concerning any action, by the light of nature, is to inquire into the tendency of the action to promote or diminish the general happiness." - Paley
