You need to take a lot of the quotes supposedly attributed to Einstein with a fair pinch of salt. Many (either through stupidity or a genuine desire to deceive) lie about things he’s supposed to have said or exaggerate bits to misrepresent his views.
He is supposed to have said, when questioned by a Rabbi that he believed "only in Spinoza’s god" i.e. not a god who is in the least concerned with what humans do or think. (Of course, you might argue that I am misquoting here!).
Here are some other quotes of his which hardly paint him as some weak-minded, god-fearing individual praying and mumbling to some fairy-story creature worshipped by most:-
"…I do not believe in a personal god and I have never denied this…"
and
"I do not believe in the immortality of the individual…"
It is difficult to accept that modern man has swallowed so gullibly the claptrap that is religion. Understandable as far as pre-enlightenment / Darwin / 20th century scientific enlightenment people go, but today? Gordon Bennet!!
Being scared of death is no reason why we should still cram children’s heads full of this nonsense. I was deceived when I was a child by being told religion(catholocism in my case) was true and above questioning. When something is ingrained into you at that age, it’s very difficult to shake it off. That’s why it should be made illegal to ram religion down the throats of impressionable children. If they are taught religion, they should be taught atheism (or at least the Spinoza take on it.)
