Einstein on Religion


Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.

God always takes the simplest way.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.

God does not play dice.

God may be subtle, but he isn't malicious.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details.

It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
