可以说，爱因斯坦的宗教观是带有引号的。爱因斯坦的"宗教观"是对自然法则的赞叹， 它是摸得着，看得见的。而宗教的神，只在幻觉中。作者: eidi 时间: 21.3.2009 15:04
爱因斯坦相信一种宇宙宗教感觉(cosmic religious feeling)，但反对一个人格化的神。他曾说∶
“未来的宗教将是一种宇宙宗教，而佛教包括了对于未来宇宙宗教所期待的特征∶它超越人格化的神，避免教条和神学，涵盖自然和精神两方面，它更是基于对所有自然界和精神界事物作为一个有意义整体的体验而引发的宗教意识。佛教正符合了这个描述。如果有任何能够应付现代科学需求的宗教，那必定是佛教。”[1↑出自1954年普林斯顿大学出版社出版的《爱因斯坦∶人性的一面》]
经常看见一些佛教普及读物中有如下一段话
原文如下：
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. "Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism."- Albert Einstein
[1954, from Albert Einstein:The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]
考据材料 《Albert Einstein: The Human Side》 这本书实际是 1981年出的 海伦·杜卡斯 著 我找来的是 1984年世界知识出版社 翻译出版的《爱因斯坦谈人生》
还好这本书不厚，在反复找了两遍后，发现没有上面的这段话。
又 《爱因斯坦文集》 商务印书馆 1976年版三卷 也查了一遍没有发现这段话。。。。。。
基本上可以断定这句话是伪造，不是爱因斯坦说的了。
新证据
"However, we must remember that this was not WRITTEN by Einstein and only attributed to him by a biographer."
Hope this will help anyway, here i copied her answer:
"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity"
