Wiki says:

Einstein’s political view was in favor of socialism and critical of capitalism, which he detailed in his essays like “Why Socialism?”.[115][116] Einstein offered to and was called on to give judgments and opinions on matters often unrelated to theoretical physics or mathematics.[117]

Einstein’s views about religious belief have been collected from interviews and original writings.

He called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label atheist.[118] He said he believed in the “pantheistic” God of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized.[119][120]

If I’m not mistaken, Einstein recanted his objections to God given recognition of his intellectual limits.

I wonder about those sources.

Also seems like Einstein was a bit ignorant about what socialism was at the time it was written.
