actually the reverse is true. a more ridiculous assertion, completely ignorant of the history of science, could hardly be imagined.

the greatest scientists and thinkers ever born, people like boyle, faraday, newton, einstein, and i could go on and on described their work as attempts to discover the mind of God.

Likewise, the list of great Athiest fathers of science is very short.

You're taking the term "mind of God" much too literal. 'Mind of God' is a metaphor used quite often by Einstein, others to describe the inner workings of the Universe, laws of physics.

Einstein use of the word "God" in many of his quotes doesn't necessarily mean he believed in God. One of Einstein's oft-repeated quotes is "that there is no science without God, no God without Science", "God does not play dice with the Universe", others.

Religious views of Albert Einstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Einstein's religious views have been studied due to his sometimes apparently ambiguous statements and writings on the subject. He believed in the god of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized. He also called himself an agnostic, and criticized atheism, preferring he said "an attitude of humility."
