Let's not forget that he also said:
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. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.
this
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
also this
During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution, human fantasy created gods in man's own image who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate influence, the phenomenal world.
and this
It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere.... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
sige lang bai @slabdans mo evolve rana sia nga mahimong sakto nga pagkatawo kay sa pagka karon mura paman na siya ug Homo- habilis ..
I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic,. . .

See awa basta lagi ma piit nani siya kalit lang likoy...patuga tuga sud ug discussion pero walay saktong bala
but dili jud siya Totally Atheist kay naa pa siya other belief of divinity .. daghan man gud istoria2x .. wa lang ta kabalo sa tinood ...
"Einstein: His Life and Universe," he did find a pantheistic view of God rational. In simple words, pantheism is the belief that everything is God; the universe, nature, beings, and the planets are all the same thing as divinity. Pantheists, however, do not accept the personal, monotheistic God that most religions teach.
In his belief his agnostic kay no one knows the nature of God ... base lang sa mga statement naa siya reservation of God but not a Christian God ..

Einstein denied he was a pantheist, most of the people during his time called him a pantheist and he strongly denied that as evident in what you posted a while ago "I don't think I can call myself a pantheist.".. is what you said that Einstein said.. he dont also consider himself as an Atheist, because he believes that atheism is an act of liberation from religious indoctrination.. rather he expressly said that we may call him an agnostic... but there is no clear basis if he is.. again all of this ruckus about his stand is mainly due to our efforts of constricting him, and putting his ideals inside a bag.. but these are just labels,.. the true nature of einstein's belief is beyond what we are constricting him into..
Einstein was a believer of Spinoza's kind of god, some people hijacked Spinoza's idea and called it pantheism, that's why Einstein expressly denied he was a pantheist because for him, i mean the kind of god that he believed was how Spinoza originally defined it as it was, not how the Pantheists thought it was...
