If you insist in saying someone believes in god, it behoves you to define which god for the statement to have any meaning.

It does? Well, why isn't the reverse true? You said Einstein didn't believe in God, and you were talking about one partuicular being worshipped by just two of the world's many religions, but you didn't specify that.

That's what I was doing. Here is Einstein's own statement: "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, 1954)

Could he make it any clearer?
