There is any need for any comment?
I don't think so guys.
Einstein was a romantic pantheist (god to him was just a poetic word for the cosmos). He didn't believe in a literal god, not even a literal pantheist god.
To sense that behind everything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense...I am a devoutly religious man.” In response to a young girl who had asked him whether he believed in God, he wrote: “everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a Spirit vastly superior to that of man.” And during a talk at Union Theological Seminary on the relationship between religion and science, Einstein declared: “the situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

Despite all the problems that he had with the church he continue to believe in God until his very end.
