To provide a bit of clarification to the foregoing....Albert Einstein was
born to into a non-religious Jewish family and as an extremely young child
attended Catholic School for a couple of years; throughout his life Einstein
was an observant Jew.
--------------------
That's not true, Einstein was a non-observant Jew throughout his life, like
his parents. He only kept kosher and attended synagogue for a short time in
his youth. He gave up belief in the religious tenets of Judaism at age 12
just before his bar mitzvah.
-------------------
Shortly after his 50th birthday, Einstein declares he's not a religious Jew
in an interview with George Sylvester Viereck:
"I am a determinist. I do not believe in free will. Jews believe in free
will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine. In
that respect I am not a Jew."
