Albert Einstein the Agnostic
January 24, 2016 at 4:02 pm
Found this quote on a blog and not sure what to make of it.

I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God
is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share
the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is
mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of
religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of
humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual
understanding of nature and our own being.

Sincerely Yours,

Albert Einstein
