Just so we're clear.
Albert Einstein's religious views have been widely studied and often misunderstood.[1] Einstein stated that he believed in the pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza.[2] He did not believe in a personal God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view which he described as naïve.[3] He clarified however that, "I am not an atheist",[4] preferring to call himself an agnostic,[5] or a "religious nonbeliever."[3] Einstein also stated he did not believe in life after death, adding "one life is enough for me."[6]
- Regardless of the label it sounds like his views align pretty closely with what most modern day atheists/ agnostics believe.yuekit
- "A conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality and intelligibility of the world....represents my conception of God"yuekit
- (from your link) ... sounds almost like something Richard Dawkins would come up with.yuekit
- It does. Although, if you suggested to Dawkins he was Agnostic i think he'd throw a spaz. It's probably closer to where Sam Harris is at the moment.Morning_star
- We can all agree that he does not believe in the traditional Christian creator, and therefore, was not religious in any traditional sense, in any way.monospaced
