Einstein believed in God but not in religion. One of the greatest scientist.

Even if he did or did not believe in God, Einstein was one of humanity’s greatest geniuses.

The more I study science the more I believe in God - Albert Einstein

"Religion and science go together. As I've said before, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. They are interdependent and have a common goal—the search for truth. Hence it is absurd for religion to proscribe Galileo or Darwin or other scientists. And it is equally absurd when scientists say that there is no God. The real scientist has faith, which does not mean that he must subscribe to a creed. Without religion there is no charity. The soul given to each of us is moved by the same living Spirit that moves the universe."

— Albert Einstein, Third conversation (1948): William Hermanns, Einstein and the Poet: In Search of the Cosmic Man (1983), p. 94

For God so Loved the World that he sent his only begotten son that whosever may believe in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Einstien realize that no human can create this things, So He started to seeing God in his own perspective view

[sphyerhd]

God is a universal energy not a person in the sky

[smple]

Let's be honest we searched for this due to our curiosity

[rinadevi]

he didnt believed in god
he made fun of god by time dilution, exetremly intelligent

[Ezio-Auditore]

I love how religious people ignored every word in the video and just commented "He believed in God"

[kennethdeocampo]

[sweetlavender]

he believed in god but not the one yall think of. he believed that there was something else, not above, something more than what we could think of. not some guy in th sky controlling us with a non-sense book.

" Be aware of people qouting things that i never said "
- Einstein

[TerryUniGeezerPeterson]

"No gods truly exist except in the minds of men."
- Albert Einstein.

In my eyes, Einstein believed in God. When he looked into space, physics, everything adds up. Everything works so beautifully perfect. No imperfections exist in physics or astronomy. Everything adds up and it’s so beautiful. I believe he knew there was no way it was mere luck.

[Alainke]

I once read that Einstein stated that "I can walk through this library, and read books, and discover theory, but I don't know who or what made the library. That must be God"

[MRobertl]

Einstein wrote:
"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings."

Psalm 14:1 The fool said in his heart there is no God.
