No I don't agree. Science would thrive without religion and religion would thrive without science. If one were to suddenly die the other would be very happy. They are not co-dependent.

Just like to point out to anyone who enthusiastically tries to claim Einstein was religious or believed in a personal God: He wasn't and he didn't

It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously." - Einstein

"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

-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.-

- Albert Einstein, letter to an atheist (1954), quoted in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas & Banesh Hoffman

Ba'hai religion without science is superstition, science without religion is materialism

or

"The Bible speaks to us of the origin of the universe and its make-up, not in order to provide us with a scientific treatise, but in order to state the correct relationships of man with God and with the universe" JPII.

Einstein believed science aspires to truth and understanding, a feeling he believed came from religion. Personally I don't see how he came to that conclusion.

I dont agree and i also wish that people wouldnt take quotes from celebrities that were made in some context and pretend that it represents that person or that its anything more special than something anyone might say at some time.

I am an atheist, but I agree with the words to some extent. I'll leave your typing and grammar alone.

I suspect that, that is just one of a number of quotes, made up by theists, and attributed to famous atheists, in order to cast doubt on their atheism.

I agree with a lot that he said. I do not believe he said that.
