The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!
When the greatest mind in our history gives his true feelings on God and religion and says "... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses,...."
I found this on the Richard Dawkins site:

There is no one with more credibility than Albert Einstein; therefore shouldn't this letter be a major symbol of some kind to atheism around the globe?

Comment by Jim Sparta on September 11, 2012 at 5:43pm You see what happened at the Democratic National Convention where they removed the word 'God' and 'Jerusalem the capitol of Isreal', and then the controversial live vote to change it back; makes what Einstein wrote all the more relevant. For instance:
I'd have to say it seems clear that Einstein is Athiest. He says in the letter:
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses,"
"For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."
"Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." (when referring to the Jewish people)
