I believe god is the sum total of all human relations as well as our relations to nature. We are all connected and need each other.

That being said, most people still are a pain in my ass. Luckily I have a ton of faith.

Darwin only became a christian on his deathbed because he had been ex-comunicated by the church... facing death, he bacame scared and did it as 'fire insurance'.

Actually floopy - you have it backwards. Darwin was bapitized as a small boy and raised in the church and went to church schools through to college. In his autobiography he described himself as a theist when he wrote Origin of the Species. That book, of course, caused quite a stir in the religious community. He didn't have a problem with it because he viewed the two topics as seperate entities. Though he did try very hard to stay out of those discussions. He considered himself a naturalist not a theologian.

Later in life he became less and less interested in church and late in life described himself as an agnostic.

Yes I know that a least one evangelist reported that he renounced evolution on his deathbed but this was refuted by Darwin's daughter Henrietta who stated, "I was present at his deathbed ... He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier."

Ahh... well that's what I get for studying evolution in a christian school, eh?
