I seem to recall that Einstein also said; “man will be free only when he is free of religion”. Maybe not exactly those words, but close to it. I see here a young school boy, not an old Mathematician/Scientist, he obvious changed his mind later on, after years of research??
“I seem to recall that Einstein also said”
In the past few decades, such a cloud of disinformation has been created with regard to what Einstein did or did not say, that I distrust any quotation that does not antedate 1970. And by “antedate,” I mean that a quotation was widely known and attributed to Einstein prior to 1970.
I am pretty well convinced that the quotations purporting to show that Einstein was either a socialist or an atheist are distortions or outright fabrications.
This opinion is buttressed by dsc’s first law of dealing with leftards: All leftists lie all the time. This is only to be expected, as all leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the mass murders of Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. It is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.
And Satan, as we know, is the father of lies. How could his minions and useful idiots be anything other than liars?
