"In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast power in the hands of priests" I think what Einstein meant is that God is what He is, not what we want Him to be, which is very similar to what Physicist says sometimes.

From my casual readings of Einsteins non-science stuff, I get the feeling that he was way too much of an empericist to get a good hold on religion.
Which is a bit odd when you think about it, because alot of his theories themselves were not proven till we had the technology to do it.
