Scientifc achievement is fueled by the idealism of religion. Science cannot afford to divorce religion or as some would have it "eradicate" religion altogether...
Look up appeal to authority, quoting Einstein is not going to get you anywhere or defend the acts of hatred, terror and divisiveness prompted under religious dogma. Einstein said a lot of things about religion and despite this he stated openly he believed in no god or gods, he was an atheist, though bizarrely did not want to identify himself socially with that label.
Quote:"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
