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.
Einstein actually wrote a pretty good book on music. Many scientists are accomplished musicians.

Yes, it is odd, and maybe that means your first statement should be reconsidered. Einstein was a theoretician, maybe the best ever. Perhaps he was so good because he accepted and understood empirical results and their implications so well before anyone else. Even now there is a satellite dedicated to observing frame dragging around the Earth called Gravity Probe B. There are probably very few theoreticians who have even one of their predictions verified. Here we are over a hundred years later still working on Einstein's. I would say his work borders on the mystical.
