Sagan himself answered this, "I'm agnostic."; which simply means he does not know if there is a god or what the nature of god might be and does not believe that this is knowable.

However admitting not knowing something does not prevent having an opinion on the subject and developing personal beliefs. For Sagan these personal beliefs leaned towards a form of pantheism comparable to Einstein's belief in Spinoza's God. His son, Dorion Sagan said, "My father believed in the God of Spinoza and Einstein."

Therefore one could call Carl Sagan a pantheistic agnostic (i.e. an agnostic that has voluntarily chosen to believe in pantheism without requiring evidence for it).
