I don't think it's appropriate to pronounce Einstein a pantheist without him here to confirm it. It fits some of his statements (Spinoza's god) but I wouldn't have bet on him self-identifying as such.
I wouldn't bother trying to tear down pantheism or deism because it's harder to imagine more harmless religious thought. I think it might even be counter-productive because it could re-enforce the "angry atheist" stereotype who actively opposes religion just because it's religion - even when it's religion which does no harm.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
