爱因斯坦的宗教观

大头熊

爱因斯坦∶“未来的宗教将是一种宇宙宗教，而佛教包括了对於未来宇宙宗教所期待的特征∶它超越人格化的神，避免教条和神学，涵盖自然和精神两方面，它更是基於对所有自然界和精神界事物作为一个有意义整体的体验而引发的宗教意识。佛教正符合了这个描述。如果有任何能夠应付现代科学需求的宗教，那必定是佛教。”

My faverite is the first one.
(1) I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.

$ g) u* c6 v; f- e# m+ a7 B. p(3) I am convinced that some political and social activities and practices of the Catholic organizations are detrimental and even dangerous for the community as a whole, here and everywhere. I mention here only the fight against birth control at a time when overpopulation in various countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave obstacle to any attempt to organize peace on this planet.

(4) I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation.

1 q: t) F8 a: s(5) 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.

Comments from Stenger: To Einstein, 'God' is 'Nature'

2 s4 s$ J& ]  R6 m: i9 ^"Both deism and traditional Judeo-Christian-Islamic theism must also be contrasted with pantheism, the notion attributed to Baruch Spinoza (d. 1677) that the deity is associated with the order of nature or the universe itself. This also crudely summarizes the Hindu view and that of many indigenous religions around the world. When modern scientists such as Einstein and Stephen Hawking mention 'God' in their writings, this is what they seem to mean: that God is Nature."

Albert Einstein found the "Dao". which Laozi wrote a classic about it 2000 years ago.
