Einstein wasn't a Christian, Jew, or an atheist. The best way to judge who he was is by his writings:
Read all three of the articles lited on the page:
Albert Einstein on Religion
http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/einstein/index.htm
Basically, he was a deist, believing that there was a God, but one who doesn't involve himself with humans (Spinoza theory). He also believed that there was no immortal soul.
Moving past religion and science, he did soem strange things:

It all depends how you define "God" and according to which religion.
Albert Einstein was a pantheist and believed in "Cosmic Intelligence" that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe. He was partial to Theravada Buddhism as a cosmic religion of the future.
Stephen Hawking is also a pantheist.
Peace be with you.

whether Einstein considered the term a metaphor or a reference to his own higher mind is debatable but he did put his usage to it's best advantage .
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein
I really can't help but think he used a left handed compliment in some of his expressions too help people think .

It is because Einstein chose to Believe in God!

He always considered the existance of God, although later in life, did question His existance. He was having a hard time trying to understand how he could prove the relationship between Gravity, Mass, and Electomagnatism in a mathmatical equasion. It is now called the "theory of everything" He never did solve it, but the closer He got to doing so, the more he began to believe that God existed because of how unlikely, complex and yet simple and wonderful everything is.

Einstein always claimed to be a Jew. But his beliefs were more pantheistic. He said that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent.

Einstein didn't believe in the God of the bible or theism. Not everybody means the same thing when they use the word God.

He perceived a certain order in the universe, and supposed that it was more readily explained by some sort of deity than by complete chaos. But his religious views are more accurately described as Jeffersonian deism than anything else.

If you mean as a diest. Yes. He believed god was a matraphore or personificaiton for the order in the universe. If, however, you mean as a "personal god" than E would have been the first to lable you a fool and, for using his name to suppoirt your foolishness, a lier as well.
