"A newly published letter reveals that Albert Einstein viewed religion and religious works as 'childish,' and 'primitive works.'In the letter, dated January 3 1954, he wrote: 'The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, 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."
