Is Michio Kaku an atheist

Answer 1

Technically no. He says there are two gods a god of intervention and a god of order. But he is obviously not a theist.

"The problem today though, is hat many of us is more skeptical. To get everlasting life in heaven, you have to trust that heaven actually exists. Speaking as a scientist, I think that there is a problem with regards to the afterlife and religious immortality, and that is there's no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe, you don't need proof. Well, I do." - Micho Kaku, BBC Video: There Here After. "

He would be better described as an agnostic with non-theist leanings.
