Agenda or no, Carlin is absolutely right. Religion is bull$hit.

And yet Einstein believed in God.

I don't have a problem with spirituality or the belief in God but I do have a problem with all the crap that has been done in the name of God.

That's a very broad paraphrase. I'll answer with an actual quote from him (1930) - "I can't answer with a simple yes or no. I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations."

Einstein has always denied the religious church and organised religion but he never denies the presense of a creator.

No he did not. That is some rubbish created by people who don't understand what he was saying.

He made it very plain. It is what scientist today call Einsteinen religion. An over all Since of aww when it comes to the cosmos but not in "GOD"

Not in a personal God that acted daily to help those that prayed to him. But he believed in a creator of some sort, something that we don't really know anything about.
