Information regarding Albert Einstein's belief
Question
Happy holiday, honorable Rabbi,
I would be glad to know whether there is a known source indicating that Einstein believed in a Creator, or not?
Answer
I don't have concrete information. As far as I know, he believed in a very abstract sense, a kind of pantheism. That isn't relevant to religious beliefs, and in my opinion it's doubtful whether this is belief at all.
Discussion on Answer
You can read his "God letter"; it doesn’t seem like he was a believer…
Benjamin Fain brings several such sources in his book.
