Einstein never believed in God?, just shows what a dumb ass he was. Religon is based on faith, imagine for one moment you could prove the existance of God, what would that achieve?. You either believe or don't simple choice.
I once heard someone say that they believed, if, when they died they were wrong then they would never find out if they were right or wrong. If they didn't believe and were wrong they sure would find out.

I'm here to call your bluff, gearies.
Please describe your assumed model of belief -- you know, the one you think shows that beliefs are the product of "simple choice".

Re your comments about teaching of religion in schools, parents have the right to opt their children out. Of course most don't because they don't find the teaching of religion objectionable.
You seem to find the teaching of science and religion at variance with one another, there are plenty of scientists who are committed christians, how do you explain that?.
Are they "bad scientists/doctors/chemists because of their personal faith? Would you check the religious persuassion of your GP before seeing him or her?.
I come back to a point you made regarding living the best life because of his addiction to Religion. I have to say that is a mighty pompous statement to make. Are you saying Bonhoffer, Mother Teresa, nuns working with Aids victims are not making the best of their life??.
