He is saying that God is not necessary in their civilization because science has taken its place; he is not denying God, but instead explaining why he's obsolete. Mond explains to John that "fear of death and of what comes after death makes men turn to religion. This is partially truth because in religions like Catholicism, there is an afterlife where people will pay for their sins or will be rewarded for their good deeds. But because in the world state people are conditioned to be comfortable with death, religion is not necessary.

Which shows that the World State thinks that people who are different, or things that are open to interpretation, are needed to be removed. Likewise shown within Brave New World even in a seemingly perfectly put together society there are flaws and downfalls.
