Einstein and Religion

Saw this in The Star today and just had to post, it’s an interesting glimpse into the mind of one of the most fascinating people in the history of time.

The letter up for sale, was written to philosopher Eric Gutkind in January 1954 and suggests that Einstein’s view on religion did not mellow with age.

In it, Einstein said that “the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.”
