Here's some quotes from Einstein:
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what
exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human be-
ings."
"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 so far as our science can reveal it." (Albert Einstein:
The Human Side", edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffmann, Princeton
University Press)
