In an debate with F. C. Copleston, Bertrand Russell was questioned on the existence of God. Russell states that his view is agnostic (123), meaning he is neutral. He doesn't say that he is for religion nor does he say that he is against religion. He just believes science must prove there is a God (129). Copleston adds that one should look for the existence of God and saying not to is dogmatic (129). Copleston then questions Russell's view of the universe.
