Often when asked if he were religious, Albert Einstein gave this answer, “I’m not an atheist. I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist [one who believes the existing universe is God; or one who believes in the worship of all gods]”. What he did believe, it seems, is that nature followed laws that amazed him and which he found awesome.

Einstein attributed nature and its laws to being created by a higher being, God. However, his pronouncements on his God did not sit well with theologians and others. And so both during his lifetime and posthumously, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century has been perceived as being an atheist.

Try Google but first spell his name right - it's Einstein.
