that is the definition of agnostic.
which einstein certainly was.
there have been several widely published "studies" about the religiousity of the USA citizenry. They claim that 80% "believe in god."
in actuality, only around 30% believe in a judeochristian personal god, an omnipotent god involved in all aspects of daily life. just as many or more believ in an impersonal creator god, a god that created the universe, maybe 17 Billion years ago, and then set the rules and let it develop. That belief is antithetical to christianity, judaism, islam, etc. a smaller number of people stated they believed in gods of other types (hindu, wicca, deists, pantheists, etc.) which are most definitely antithetical to the beliefs of the specific christians that are pushing this "information" as proof that the USA is a purely god-fearing nation.
the single fastest growing group in the USA, as in most of western culture, is the agnostic/athiest.
Thank Mario for that.
