Did reason's lack of power to prove God detur Hume or did he believe despite believing a miracle was "against the laws of nature"?

Hume's clearest arguments emerge in his posthumous "Dialogues concerning Natural Religion". If the figure of Philo truly represents the views of Hume himself, he is certainly not atheist.
Prior to this especially, the need for caution on Hume's part makes a categorical judgement difficult
Googling for
<"david hume" atheist fideist> gives some interesting results.

Well reason in itself is a guess, reason, on top of all tries to see the ups and ends of infinity, which it can not! And as far a miracle, thats what is call creating, not copying, and thats what what nature is all about! it does, it does not mold, man does!;O)

It seems like he is an atheist.
