Einstein believed in Spinoza's God
Einstein believed in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of creation, but not in a God who is interested in the beliefs and actions of man: for me this is atheism .
The real problem is that the majority of people live a miserable life, and has a desperate need to cling to something: I think this is a biological mechanism of defense, without which perhaps humanity would not have survived. Only a minority can come out and accept that this life is all there is, and that when it's over, it's over.
