Albert Einstein believed in a Creator and he is certainly a lot smarter than any of the Christian haters in the ACLU.

Wrong.

"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."
-Albert Einstein

“In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views. I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.”~Albert Einstein

“It was, of course, a lie “

What is the source of that passage? By that I mean, where did Dukas and Hoffman get it?
