His belief in God comes out a bit in The Girl who loved Tom Gordon, where he talks about faith quit a bit. took me by surprise as I read it, but I feel like it is certainly a product of post-getting hit by a van/sobriety that lead him to that point.

He's had a hosed up life for sure, but every single one of his novels has redeemable characters that often start out knee deep in poo poo, either personal or experiental and they usually win in the end (not his short stories which are really fun if you haven't read them). In his novels the really reprehensibly people are just as multi-dimensional as the good ones, and he gets in their heads (this is what King is good at) and really fleshes out the depths of their inhumanity.
