I don’t think of Einstein as a believer 

seems like he said something like

if God exists, he is more like a watchmaker 

made earth and is watching it wind down

He gets mixed into the conventional believers' category by having this quote taken out of context:
"science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind"

He was a pantheist. Rather close to what I consider myself actually.
"God" for lack of a better term is the energy that is everything.

God is not involved in the personal matters and fates of anything or anybody.
But, if religion drives people toward a better life or being a better person, so be it.
Ritual, tradition, obligation, worship of the conventional type doesn't suit me.

That doesn't give me the right to **** all over other people though.
I leave that to the religious folk.
