Sorry to dissapoint you but Albert Einstein never referred to himself as an atheist, He said that he did not think he could call himself a pantheist, which did not exclude him from being a theist.

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.
