Einstein has been called a pantheist, but that is a very loose use of
the word. "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious
convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not
believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have
expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called
religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the
world so far as our science can reveal it." That's hardly pantheism by
any reasonable definition.
