Question by TechPro256: Was Albert Einstein a secular humanist or a religious humanist? Einstein joined the American Humanist Association in the 1950s. Did he do so as a secular humanist or a religious humanist? Best answer:
Answer by feyomi*
Secular. Einstein was definitely not religious. Many people like to claim that Einstein was religious. “God does not play dice” – Einstein “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind” – Einstein These, amongst others, are quotes that some people use to argue that he was religious. However, Einstein also said: “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” There are many more interesting quotes I could give to you. Einstein was definitely not religious.

Question by : Would a scientist have discovered the Theory of Relativity by now if Einstein hadn’t done it? Was Einstein a unique talent ? Or was he just the first one out of many working on relativity who happened to release his findings first? Best answer:
Answer by Lola F
He wasn’t even the first one to work on it or release his findings. The stage was set for relativity the moment Maxwell wrote down his equations. Einstein is responsible for exactly none of the mechanism of Special Relativity— only its interpretation. All the theory had already been worked out by Lorentz and Poincaré. Einstein IS responsible for the theory of General Relativity, but even that would have been formulated at his time or shortly after, as soon as anyone attempted to make Newton’s gravity Lorentz covariant (that is, logically consistent with Special Relativity). Einstein was a smart dude, but he wasn’t superhuman, or a god.
