Einstein Letter Calling Biblical Stories ‘Pretty Childish’ to Be Auctioned on eBay
The Atlantic’s Rebecca Rosen reports that a letter written by Albert Einstein, which offers insights into his thoughts on religion, will be auctioned off on eBay. In the letter, Einstein claims the Bible contains “primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.” Einstein believed that God was greater than religion. “He took the idea of God very seriously, elevating it above a religious conception to a mathematical one,” explains Rosen.
