The AP has the report on the letter Albert Einstein wrote to Eric Gutkind in 1954 and recently sold at auction.
In it, Einstein said, “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.”
“For me,” he added, “the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.”
Oh, well, you can't be right about everything.
