It is very difficult to know what Shakespeare thought about anything. You cannot use what the characters in his plays say as expressions of his own beliefs.

Officially, like all English people, he belonged to the Church of England and so supported the beliefs promulgated by the Church. He also held to the position that the government that England had was absolutely just and legitimate and he supported the monarchy. If he had not held these positions he may well have ended up in prison or dead, so if he had other ideas he kept them to himself.
