Think of einstein's deism as the mathematics of reality, written with artistic license.    

I thought that Einstein expressed clearly that he believed in Spinozas god. A creator that isn't a personal god? On the wikipedia page the quote they shared for why he didn't adopt atheism was, "an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being" So would Einstein say that being an atheist simply means a non-belief in god? I don't think so. It seems like he was saying that atheist count out the possibility of a creator, personal or not, and that was somewhere he just wasn't willing to go
