I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being. (Albert Einstein)

That sounds a little towards agnosticism, doesn't it?

Probably that is why it has been said that he was agnostic, based on that quote.

That's very true, except for a few cases, that of fundamentalists trying to force society to be according to their dogmas, that's a problem.

If Jesus is meant to save everyone, why isn't he on Baywatch with the rest of the life-savers? I mean, he would have looked good in one of those yellow and red caps.
