Einstein had an extremely sophisticated view of mathematics and physics. He could speak with authority on those subjects, but his knowledge beyond those fields was limited, as many who knew him testify. In particular, his knowledge of religion was limited and his knowledge of history/politics all but nonexistent. He may have had strong opinions - beliefs, if you want - about these fields, but no reason exists why anyone should treat his utterances about God or politics with the same respect that one might treat his pronouncements on solid state physics. If his knowledge of God was limited, no information exists that Einstein make any attempt to learn about Him, not did the man claim a divine revelation that might give credence to his pronouncements.
