Religious Views of Albert Einstein
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Albert_EinsteinAlbert Einstein believed the
major religions to be "
an incarnation of the most childish superstitions" but didn't want to be labeled as atheist either.
So he wrote: "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion
the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an
agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."
