Albert E. has been a huge hero of mine since I first came upon his philosophical musings, many years ago.
His take on things religious was reinforcing of what I had evolved over time. If he found any specific doctrine or body of religious belief limiting or “childish”, it doesn’t mean he wasn’t a man of faith who stood in immense awe of It, The All and Everything.
Belief in (any given) religion and faith are not synonymous. People seem to use them interchangeably.
I also admired Einstein for his refusal to wear socks when delivering a formal paper ! He avoided being dragged into all the pretentious games, the true mark of genius
