Einstein and religion

Elie, a scientist at Princeton, sent me this:  "Einstein was certainly a theist. He rejected the uncertainty principle which turned out to be correct because in his words " God does not play dice". He was however secular and he insisted before allowing Yeshiva University to use his name for their medical school to include a clause about non-discrimination based on religion and other factors, not that they have kept ot heir word. They shut of vending machines on jewish religious holidays."
