Einstein clearly believed in a transcendent source of the world’s sanity, which he called “supermind,” “unlimited super-spirit,” “super-thought power,” and “mysterious brute force.” This is evident in many of his statements: “I have never found a better expression than the religious’ expression of that trust in the rational nature of reality and its qualitatively distinct access to the human mind. Where that trust lacks science, it descends into a spiritless action. Let the devil care if priests have made capital out of it. There is no remedy for that.”12 “But whoever has undergone the difficult experience of successful progress in this field [natural sciences] has been driven by the profound veneration of the rationality that manifests itself in existence. By his understanding, he will reach beyond freedom from the shackles of personal hopes and desires, until he reaches that state of intellectual humility before the grandeur of reason embodied in existence.”13 "It is certain that there is a conviction, connected with religious feeling, behind the highest scientific work of all, which is the plausibility and understandability of the world...This conviction, connected with a deep sense of a higher mind manifested in the world of experience, represents my conception of God." “Everyone who is seriously concerned with the conduct of the natural sciences is led to believe that the laws of nature give rise to a spirit far superior to the human spirit, against which our sense of our meager power is completely diminished.” “My religion consists in a little admiration for an infinitely transcendental spiritual being, who reveals himself in the smallest detail that we can perceive with our imperfect minds. This deeply emotional conviction that there is an transcendental intellectual force, manifested through the universe that we still do not know, constitutes my idea of God.” More: https://braheen.com/publications/هناك-إله-كيف-غير-أشرس-ملاحدة-العالم-أفكاره — Source: Published on Facebook's "Braheen Center" page https://www.facebook.com/braheen.org/posts/pfbid0JeuSsAaCbGpjk8isJvydfjdSMhcNQaMyvmK14hCokWTheYBiwWc5VZGqgziyGWkZl
