Many of us have seen the quote where Einstein said "Science without religion is lame..." but as Benjamin Franklin's autobiography declares him a deist, I was always more familiar with Einstein quotes of doubt. I was able to dig up this website, to articles appearing in Skeptic magazine:

The second half of my letter signature is the key: -"to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in Nature." -The word 'intelligence' used by Einstein shows his underlying thought pattern, as also he referred to the 'old one', one of his other expressions. He did not have a personal god but he recognized the underlying theme of intelligence in the structure of the universe. He left a personal and personalized God for religions to describe. I'm just slightly beyond his conjectures.
