Was Einstein an Atheist?

"in view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views. " Albert Einstein

“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.”

-Albert Einstein 1954

@sunshine9672 In fact I don't think all scientists are honest (e.g: a very little few of them are creationists, and -of course!- they're not even honest with themselves). But science has a method to allow us to discern truth from lies, and that's reliable ..and there's nothing like that in religious mindset, and that's why you cant trust religious people.

I think you'd need to study about scientific method (which I'm sorry to say you seem to utterly ignore) to understand that.

@zaaltar1 It's not about the feeling, its the knowledge. What do I lose if I believe in God? The wisdom, that was given to us by God. What do I lose if I don't believe in him? In parallel to my first answer, why would he gave us wisdom that would just create division if He is omniscient, and being omnipotent he could create a world were all people believe in him for the fact that he is a jealous. In the first place, God forgives then why not forgive Eve who just ate an apple? Just being skeptic.

I bet that the people who don't belive in GOD are the who never went in a church.The feeling that covers you when in there is beyond description.What do you lose if you belive in GOD ?Nothing.But what do you lose if you don't belive in Him ?Everything

"My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment."

-Albert Einstein 1950 in a letter to M. Berkowitz

I get sick of Atheist trying to clam people like Einstein. Einstein was a agnostic and so was Carl Sagan. he might have criticize religion. But Einstein felt that atheism was a close minded stance. Sagan said atheism was stupid. I find a lot Atheist to be very close mind. Having an open mind means is to leave your mind open until there is more then enough evidence to prove it wrong. Humans know maybe 2% of everything. So until we have 99.9% knowledge. Atheism is stupid and close minded.

Yes.

This is just more dishonesty and misrepresentation from the goons that pick fights on the Huntington Beach pier. Ray Comfort doesn't have an honest bone in his body.

@sunshine9672 Your major in biology is worhtless, if you still believe in objective morality even if science have better explanation for morality.

Science has nothing to say about an alleged god, since there's not a single shred fo evidence for its existence, but the same concept of god has been created by bronze age people looking for explanations about reality. Today science can give us better explanations for the same facts, so god is only an useless conjecture.
