see, you can't just dismiss religion as simply as that. I'm definitely a believer in science. the world is not the center of the universe, and it wasn't made 5000 years ago. But to simply dismiss religion, or faith in general as superstition, you are shrinking a philosophy into something its not. It is entirely possible for someone to rationally believe that religion can coexist with science. It depends on how you actually classify God. Even with Hawking's theory, that still doesn't explain how gravity came to be, therefore, like someone suggested, universal force can be God. I don;t use the term gravity in this context because I read somewhere that in the begining, gravity was actually combined with the weak, strong and electromagnetic forces, (I think I named them all right), and when the big bang occurred, this "superforce" was split. Anyway, what this force creates can be part of God, and therefore, like most beliefs, God is in and all around us. People get hung up on the stories told in holy texts when they are most likely something to get people to lead a moral life, (for the most part).
