Albert Einstein Quotes About Religion

I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and noblest driving force behind scientific research.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
