Do you mean, "He didn't explicitly say," otherwise how do you know what he was thinking if you assert, "He explicitly didn't say"? I didn't hear him say he was solipsistic either.
Being logical doesn't preclude someone from beleiving in a god, though it will probably preclude some beliefs or teachings of most organized religions.
(There are a few minor issues of the religion of which I am a part of, but religion is a man-made construct and thus inherently fallible. And I recognize that since there are multiple different religions, not all of them can be correct at the same time, and thus it's possible the one I am a part of is one of the incorrect ones.)
Believing in a god can be used as an emotional crutch by some people, but it does not mean it is always an emotional crutch for everyone that does believe in a god.
Many people have a problem of differentiating from what was actually said versus what they think someone meant. Sometimes I have a problem of understanding what was meant when people don't actually say what they mean. I think George Soros is a person who means exactly what he says.
