Answer 2

Albert Einstein was a Jew & as jewish he would deny the existence of a personal God, savior. The Jew's still await the coming of the King.

I dont know who came to these conclusions, but here they are:

The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is not a single Jew that has destroyed a church.There is not a single Jew that protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask "what can they do for humankind" before they demand that humankind respects them!!

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part , the following two sentences really say it all:

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence!

If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel!

Answer 3

I think you must mean Albert Schweitzer. No, I don't think he has been very influential even as a nominal Christian. Most people have forgotten him. I don't believe he was a Christian, but then I don't think Billy Graham is one, either. Graham is probably the most influential 20th century 'Christian'.

Real Christians are not people one has heard of. The media keep well away from Christians.

Answer 4

No!

Answer 5

? Albert Einstein laughed at the thought of a personal deity, and poked fun of Christianity many times.

Albert Einstein didn't follow any religion, but if he did, it would be Buddhism, as this is the religion he expressed the most interest and praise for in his writings.

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity"

-Albert Einstein

Answer 6

Einstein was an atheist. He SAID he was an atheist. He described his deep awe and appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the universe and nature as a 'religious' feeling in order to convey the nature of his feelings to ordinary people who were (and still are) religious. In other words, Einstein used 'god' as a metaphor, so that his expressions could resonate with the feelings of the people he was trying to communicate with. By trying to read any more than that into it, you are just confounding yourself. Take for example this quote, which is often cited as 'proof' that Einstein believed in god: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Translation into regular-people-speak (my words):

*** "If you coldly work to uncover the secrets of the universe without harboring an inner sense of wonder, awe and appreciation for the beauty, majesty, and symmetry of nature, you are depriving yourself of the most personally enriching part of the experience in what you do.

If you focus entirely upon what you think 'is', or what you have been told 'is', you are depriving yourself of the knowledge of the true basis for the awe and reverence that you feel." ***

Einstein's language was colorful, concise, poetic... and ambiguous, all at the same time; i.e., 'believers' could understand it on their own terms... and people who were smart enough to penetrate his metaphors could appreciate it on an entirely different level. Such was his genius.
The following quote clearly, emphatically and unequivocally asserts Einstein's 'religious' views:

"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 (universe) so far as our science can reveal it." ~ Albert Einstein

Answer 7

Einstein was not a Christian. He was an Ethnic Jew who was probably more Deist than anything (according to what I've read of his writings). Some think he was an Atheist, which is possible, but I tend to lean more on what he said rather than what others have claimed of him. He didn't believe in a Personal God and remarked on Spinoza's ideas about it on a few occasions... This is why it leads me to believe he was more Deist than Atheist.

Answer 8

No, Albert wasn't a Christian.
I think the most influential Christian of the 20th Century was Billy Graham.

Look him up.

Answer 9

The man seemed to have a poetic way of describing the science he understood and sometimes would refer to eternity, natures course and the process of evolution as "god" but it's been widely accepted that he was not a religious man, simply a scientist trying to communicate with the people of his time.

Answer 10

He didn't believe in Jesus. To the question "Did Jesus get up two days after his death, and start walking around like nothing ever happened? Einstein likely would have answered no.

Answer 11

No, he wasn't a Christian. He was a very influential scientist though. Probably the most. But I don't think he did anything for Christianity.
