A Rabbi asked Einstein simply: “Do you believe in God?”

“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of Human beings.”

The orderly harmony of what exists

“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists,

So – Just who was this Spinoza guy? Check him out

Spinoza’s (and Einstein’s) God A Universal God who can be properly apprehended only by the application of reason to the world around us. This suggests that Spinoza’s “religion of disenchantment” could in fact be a prescient description of modern science: A pantheistic universe whose truth we can apprehend only by the use of reason, mathematics and rational experiment. “Spinoza in 90 minutes” Paul Strathern

Money is also often involved

Cardinal O’Connell of Boston who attacked Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity told a group of Catholics that:

“The theory cloaked the ghastly apparition of atheism and befogged speculation, producing universal doubt about god and his creation”
