There seems to be alot of mis-information on Einstein’s belief in God. Here are a few facts…

1. Albert Einstein was raised Jewish.
2. Around the time Einstein was eleven years old he went through an intense religious phase, during which time he followed Jewish religious precepts in detail, including abstaining from eating pork. During this time he composed several songs in honor of God.
3.Einstein was opposed to atheism. He was quoted saying the following:
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
4.The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: “Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in ‘Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists.’
5. Another quote by Einstein

‘I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details.’
6. Einstein attended the 9th Church of Christ in New York.
