I don't disagree with George's comments--Einstein & religion is a complex
topic--but anyone familiar with "the World as I See it" and similar writings
by Einstein will not be surprised that he regarded anything bordering on
revealed religion to be puerile. He left his own Jewish faith as an
adolescent, and IMO he continued to regard traditional religion as
adolescent for the rest of his life. That he had in common w/Dawkins,
though (as George notes) he didn't want to browbeat religious people.
