Einstein did not have a belief in God (capital G) but left open the posibility of a creator because it couldn’t be proven one way or the other. He absolutely DID NOT believe in anything you would recognize as the God of Moses or Jesus.

This is interesting. Are you really saying that you think that most people, when reading the phrase "believe in God" take that as meaning "is not a follower of Jesus Christ or Moses"? Do you think that someone reading "Einstein didn't believe in God" could reasonably wonder after reading it "Was he perhaps a Zoroastrian or an animist?"

Hard to pin down exactly.

His beliefs were evolving and changing, but I would say that he went Pantheism, and Brahman is a form of GOD to some.

A Creator god.
