Abert Einstein did not believe in God

Heard the one about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

He used to lay awake at night wondering if there really was a dog.

good one

As clarification for a common discussion base:

1. An atheist does not believe in the existence of a god or denies the existence of a god.

2. An agnostic claims that neither the existence nor the non-existence of a god can be proven

3. The correctness of rule or law of nature cannot be proven.
Only falsehood can be proven.
Natural science doesn't know absolute truth like mathematics.
So nobody can absolutely deny the existence of a god.

So Albert Einstein is an agnostic atheist.
Einstein said God doesn't dice.
But by that, he meant there are no real coincidences in the world.
Unfortunately, he was probably wrong about it.

this is something I believe wholeheartedly. I have friends that are mystics, astrologers, christians and the sort...I think NGT sums it up beautifully how I approach these topics, especially loaded terms like 'truth' , 'atheist' , 'faith' etc. It's a great podcast in its entirety but for my point, listen from 47 minutes to 52 minutes

Philosophic basics

There's no difference between the state and religion. They are both platonic functions that decide the "right" think and "wrong" think for people. Some people just like to be ruled, especially when they don't understand their slave morality.

Also, the truth? Go ahead and throw away your life chasing after something that can't be found.

Yes, some religions promote this way to get better control and influence on people
