Not true. And upon learning what Einstein believed, will you change your mind and follow his opinion? After all, you say that "he was way smarter than anyone currently alive."
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.From two different Einstein documents found here: Some of Einstein's Writings on Science and ReligionThe more a man is imbued with the ordered regularity of all events the firmer becomes his conviction that there is no room left by the side of this ordered regularity for causes of a different nature. For him neither the rule of human nor the rule of divine will exists as an independent cause of natural events. To be sure, the doctrine of a personal God interfering with natural events could never be refuted, in the real sense, by science, for this doctrine can always take refuge in those domains in which scientific knowledge has not yet been able to set foot. But I am persuaded that such behavior on the part of the representatives of religion would not only be unworthy but also fatal. For a doctrine which is able to maintain itself not in clear light but only in the dark, will of necessity lose its effect on mankind, with incalculable harm to human progress.
Right, everyone that lived before you were born is an idiot [to believe "an intellectual obscenity like Creationism"]. But you have all the answers for the rest of us stupid morons. You must be a lot of fun at cocktail parties.
Before a discovery is made, everyone is ignorant of what is not yet known. No shame in that. But once a thing is discovered, and widly taught, then it becomes reasonable to criticize those who, having been exposed to the information, refuse to deal with it. For example, we are forgiving of primitive tribesmen from millennia past who may have thought the world is flat. We don't regard them as idiots. Today, however, it is quite correct to regard a flat-earther as an idiot.

He appears to believe in a 'creator', but not One who would intervene in the affairs of Men.
