Is Neil deGrasse Tyson an atheist?
Mr. Tyson does not like to use the word "atheist" but he is 100% certain magic god fairies are not real. Whether he likes the word or not, he is an atheist.
I found this at Wikipedia:
In March 2014, philosopher and secularism proponent Massimo Pigliucci asked Tyson "What is it you think about God?" Tyson replied "I remain unconvinced by any claims anyone has ever made about the existence or the power of a divine force operating in the universe." Pigliucci then asked him why he expressed discomfort with the label "atheist" in his Big Think video. Tyson replied by reiterating his dislike for one-word labels, saying "That's what adjectives are for. What kind of atheist are you? Are you an ardent atheist? Are you a passive atheist? An apathetic atheist? Do you rally, or do you just not even care? So I'd be on the 'I really don't care' side of that, if you had to find adjectives to put in front of the word 'atheist.'"

Tyson is an atheist. He just doesn't want to admit it. He doesn't want the idiotic god fantasy to get in the way of his career.
