"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views"- Albert Einstein
Einstein, to the extend he believed in a god, was a pantheist. He was, for practical purposes, an Agnostic Atheist(Assuming those that claim pantheism is a form of atheism are correct, something on which there is no universal agreement). He was not like DuffMan and T&T who deny with certainty any possibility that God exists.
