    Einstein was an atheist, so, how do you think he would view it?

    Oh great, here we go again, an off topic question where no one has an answer but everyone's got an opinion...

    Einstein's views on religion are well documented.
    While he wasn't an atheist, he also abhorred the idea of a personal god and its organised religion.

    Well, his daughter claimed he was an atheist, and his statements such as:
    "I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it. " do seem to support that.

    You need to search for a more complete set of quotes and correspondences of Einstein.

    There a recently closed thread on the subject, still on this page, I believe.
