Einstein didn’t believe in conventional religion. He even refused to accept god as personal saviour. He was against the “monopolisation” of God by the revealed canons or ordained religions. But at the same time he wouldn’t let atheists to hijack his negation of faith for point scoring against the faithful. What irritated him most was the atheist’s lack of humility. Publicly he would denounce neither God nor religion. Privately he did not believe in God but he wasn’t prepared to use, as he put it, Freudian ‘intellectual props’ to undermine other people’s faith in god.
