Buy a clue. Einstein didn't introduce the cosmological constant because he was biased against God. Until you know what you're talking about, it's best to remain silent. Otherwise you look like an idiot. Please note the link in this post.

The cosmological constant was introduced to make the equations come out properly.

This statement is false dipsh6t. Einstein introduced the constant to accord with his theory of a static universe. My speculation about his reasons for doing so is based on his personal writings and the knowledge that he knew an expanding universe, of which their was evidence at the time, implied a creation event.

None of that makes your statement any more correct. In fact introducing a constant to "make the equations come out properly" because the general relativity equation pointed elsewhere isn't science, it's metaphysics.

Got it shmuck?
