I don't think he believed in God in the traditional sense. From what I have read it sounds more like he believed in an impersonal force that he called God.
You don't come to know God be being smart. You come to know God because God reveals Himself to you, when you simply take Him at His word.
"At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” '
Luke 10:21-22
" For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength."
He went out of his way to refute the lies Chrsitians like you tried to tell about him!
"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." – Einstein
The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. – Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms. – Einstein
After his death, his close friend was was asked that very same question. He said that when Einstein used the word God, that he meant ' nature ' I believe Einstein was to smart to buy the idea of a Big Sky Daddy. I think most rational people would agree
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)
Actually, he was Jewish in nationality. He forsook the notion of a personal god while he developed the theory of relativity. If you want more specifics, here's my source:
He was a devout born-again Christian who was well-known for his fiery preaching on the Princeton campus. He brought many souls to the Lord.

Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? (KJV)

You realize the idea of God existed long before the Jews (and therefore Christians and Muslims) did, don't you?
Anyway... Einstein was probably a pantheist. He most certainly wasn't a Jew (by ethnicity he was Jewish, not by religion) or Christian.
jews and muslims believe in god too...
einstein didnt believe in a personnal god
His god, if it can be called that, wasn't something like the Christian God.
More of a sub atomic pantheism type god, if it can be called that.
Lying for Jesus?

Depends on who you ask. All he said is he believed in "Spinoza's God".
He was a devout born-again Christian who was well-known for his fiery preaching on the Princeton campus. He brought many souls to the Lord.
