The debate between non-religious and theistic-religious people wether or not Einstein subscribed to their dogmas, is decades-old, and nthis is what the news is adressing. This letter seems to make clear that Einstein had no sympathy for theistic concepts of a gods and deities, but that he nevertheless was carrying a spirituality in his mind and soul that was convinced of life and cosmos nevertheless not being by random chance or by accident only. I assume as a result from his work he asked himself the same questions like many others, but the answers he found for himself were not those of materialists, minimalists, reductionists - or theists.
Good man!

Seems we are soulmates!
