Einstien did not believe in a personal god.
I.e. not Yahweh nor Allah.
He believed in the god of spinoza which is more deistic and closer to atheism.

Oh and the russians stiffled the church in order to crush a rival power base not 'in the name of non-belief'
Stalin was a bad bad man...........he trained for the priesthood you know.

Quote:When question about God and religion on behalf of an aged Talmudic scholar, Einstein replied:
It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropomorphic concept which I cannot take seriously. I feel also not able to imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. My views are near to those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order and harmony which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem — the most important of all human problems.

Quote:He went away to a school which, like many at the time, was run by the Orthodox Church. He learned Russian and was very successful in his studies. At the age of 15 he transferred to a church seminary (or college) that prepared young men for the priesthood. The future dictator of the world's first atheist state thus began life as a trainee priest.
