I find hard to say that i belive in god.
I reject theism, deity and i also reject human being hardwired in the brain to belive in god.

Since God designed and built us, yes, of course we are. Duh.

So, the quick answer to the question is that Einstein did not believe in a personal God. It is however, interesting how he arrived at that conclusion. In developing the theory of relativity, Einstein realized that the equations led to the conclusion that the universe had a beginning. He didn't like the idea of a beginning, because he thought one would have to conclude that the universe was created by God. So, he added a cosmological constant to the equation to attempt to get rid of the beginning. He said this was one of the worst mistakes of his life. Of course, the results of Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding and had a beginning at some point in the past. So, Einstein became a deist - a believer in an impersonal creator, God.

Feeble mind?

Don't mind him, he still lives in the matrix and did not wake up yet from it.
Morpheus couldn't find him yet.
