Stephen King's Belief in God

The apostle Paul admits that God's invisible attributes can be seen in creation.  We call this natural revelation (which is different from special revelation where God reveals His truths through the Holy Spirit) and is held by the natural man universally.  It simply means that all men see God's work in creation.  Why are not all men Christians then?  Paul explains that the suppress the truth about Him.

A perfect example of this is found in an interview with Stephen King where he states the following:

 “I choose to believe it. … I mean, there’s no downside to that. If you say, ‘Well, OK, I don’t believe in God. There’s no evidence of God,’ then you’re missing the stars in the sky and you’re missing the sunrises and sunsets and you’re missing the fact that bees pollinate all these crops and keep us alive and the way that everything seems to work together. Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But, at the same time, there’s a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, ‘Well, if this is God’s plan, it’s very peculiar,’ and you have to wonder about that guy’s personality — the big guy’s personality. And the thing is — I may have told you last time that I believe in God — what I’m saying now is I choose to believe in God, but I have serious doubts and I refuse to be pinned down to something that I said 10 or 12 years ago. I’m totally inconsistent.”
Keep in mind that all men believe in God but not all men recognize Him as God.  What do you think?  Interview link here.
