The Hawking quote might lead people to believe that he believes in the anthropic principle (the universe was created for us) and that God must have been behind it. I read the quote in more context here http://www.holysmoke.org/cre014.htm and he seems to be arguing that a strong anthropic argument is difficult to make. He doesn't outright claim there is no God, though. I think he thinks the creation of the universe can be explained without Him.
