"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

"I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is a somewhat new kind of religion. I have never imputed to Nature a purpose or a goal, or anything that could be understood as anthropomorphic. What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism. The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naive."
- Albert Einstein

"He also called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label atheist, preferring, he said, "an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.""

why does it matter what religion a scientist is
I can say Newton was Christian but that doesn't change what he did with his life

@christ

Yeah, he did that, but that doesn't mean he's not an atheist.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson also does the same thing. Charles Darwin did the same thing.

People don't like the label "atheist" because it has a negative connotation, so they try to use "agnostic" instead, but that's simply a cop-out and misuse of the terms.

Einstein was an agnostic atheist. He didn't believe in a god, but he also didn't claim to know there wasn't one. He said he preferred to be called an "agnostic" to express that he had an attitude of humility.

He was an agnostic, but he was also an atheist. He just preferred to be called agnostic because of the negative stigma around atheism.

Why is this even a debate? Einstein was Jewish, he may of been an Atheist but he was Jewish.

How was he of the Jewish race if he wasn't part of the Jewish religion? I don't get it, and besides most close to the majority of Jews are Atheists including myself. Only difference with me, is that I'm not really considered to be Jewish anyway since I was never Bar Mitzvah'd, and because only my dad is Jewish. In Jewish law supposedly your mom has to be Jewish at least, and if that isn't the case - then you simply aren't considered to be one.

Jewish is a race and a religion.
Honestly, in the old days if you looked like a jew you were a jew.
