well Einstein was a Deist although he thought religions were childish he did believe in God . some people consider the belief in God as being religious others say only belief in religion is considered religious , i dont consider the ability to make excuses to prop up your religion when it doesnt add up to be proof of intelligence although they are doing mental gymnastics more doesnt equal intelligence . i think it would just be exhausting .
Actually Einstein was agnostic.

(random site i found but i think it will suffice)

agnostic just is the belief that we are not capable of understanding God or completely knowing God . im an agnostic a lot of people who believe in God are also agnostic . einstein was an agnostic deist.



" My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. "


" Every one 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 one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. "


" The scientists’ religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. "
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today   FSM Grin   Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one  - John Lennon

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also  - Mark Twain
