Second, when you first start science, it is appears that everything happens as a cause of something else, and the goal of science is to explain the reason why each thing happens. Hence, you realize the mechanics of the world, and understand that religion would contradict these tested mechanisms. But there surely has to be a bottom to the glass, just as there has to be some fundamental starting point to the natural sciences. But it wouldn't seem that there is a reason for the fundamental starting point to be set out in the way that it is, and so I think that is what he means by god. Not the god of some particular religion, but just the reason for the way the universe is set out.
