Is Holden atheist?

Someone on the list said that Holden wasn't an atheist, but I always
thought of him as one.  (Of course, up until my post about Holden's
mental stability, I swallowed my English teacher's schizophrenia notion
whole.  But, of course, he's published a book, so he must be the
guardian of all literary knowledge...)  Holden never seems to speak of
God in any reverent fashion.  Any other opinions on this?
