He was actually educated at Cambridge to be an Anglican clergyman, but then his interest turned to the natural world.
He tried to reconcile the belief that nature's design proved the existence of God, but his trip on the Beagle (when he studied the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands) convinced him otherwise.
From there, he chose to be agnostic (not atheist!) rather than believe that the suffering of the world - including animals - was the work of God.

No - he was an English Unitarian. Why?
