Einstein, not that it matters

Arguments from authority are certainly one of the favorite fallacies used by the “faithful”.  So not that it REALLY matters what Einstein thought on the subject but since he is often quoted out of context by religious liars to try to make him seem more “godly” than he actually was, I want to present the following quote from a letter he wrote not long before his death. 

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.
