He wrote, "Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of the higher order. This firm belief, a belief bound up with deep feeling, in a superior mind that reveals itself in the world of experience, represents my conception of God. In common parlance this may be described as ?pantheistic? (Spinoza)." Elsewhere he speaks of "the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."
He also wrote, "[E]very one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive."

You are playing a game of semantics here, Einstein believed in a "God". If your small brain cant make the connection between the God of Abraham and the literal meaning of a "God" there is nothing more I can say to make you understand.
