Newton was no atheist. Newton’s theory of gravity is about attributing that things are falling down due to God. Newton wanted to explore God’s nature.
God fits into it as well as he did in Aristotelian physics in which educated people believed before Newton came along.
Newton did get into trouble for suggesting that the heavens follow the same laws as things on earth got he didn’t go against the idea of God.
