He was a diest.
I was just curious how many of you knew that.

Here is some more info on several of the scientists that were diests.

Einstein was Jewish. While he frequently stated that he did not believe in a personal God, that belief system is not necessarily inconsistent with being Jewish.
However he did attend services and was active in Jewish issues including the formation of the State of Israel, and was one of the founders of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

to amir: Einstein probably never wanted to become convert to Islam, however he was very sympathetic to the plight of muslims in the middle east and advocated that any solution needed to be considerate of the needs of all sides.

He was an agnostic..He didn't believe in a personal God, because he said that the Universe was constant..He was wrong. If he had taken a bit more stock in the Big Bang and quantum mechanics, he might have finished his unifying theory. He let his personal beliefs get in the way of science..He said it was the worst mistake of his life.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
"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"
He was not 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."

Well. When he tried to mix religion with science
he ended up on the losing end of science.

Einstein said he did not believe in a personal God. He did talk about ID favorably.

He was a Jew, are you going to run out to the nearest synagogue and convert now? Nietzsche was a brilliant man too- would you like to know what he believed?

I would like to call it Einsteinianity. He believed in a god/God, but one that was simplified, and non-anthropomorphic in nature. He basically believed in a non-religious higher power.

one of his quote:
When I read the Bhagavad Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.
