Actually, nothing "hidden" or "contorted" about it. If you read ALL religion related quotes and writings by Einstein -not just quote mine to find what suits your position- a very clear and consistent pattern emerges: He unequivocally rejects the anthropomorphic, personal God who responds to prayer -the god of scripture.
But he also rejects the hard materialism of the "professional atheist" ignorant or indifferent to the mystery and magnificence of the order in the structure of the cosmos.

It seems that Einstein's personal beliefs are pretty well hidden and contorted in all of his writings. We can keep posting quotes to support any number of positions, and I would hate to do that. I simply don't see the need in controlling another's viewpoint. Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous." on either end of this debate. Have a good day!

Einstein in 1954 again on Collins' god while also reiterating his own concept of god as he described it in your quote :
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

Einstein Again:
"We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. . . . That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human beings toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.

Einstein on Collins' god:
"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can change this. Animistic interpretations of religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls, we can only attain a certain self-deception; they do not further our moral efforts. On the contrary."
