the stuff he grappled with and came up in his mind, making battle with reality with his mind alone, im sure he thought any religious attempts to do so were pitiful by comparison. he did talk of mystery and god and reality, but thats what everyone feels. thats the feeling religion agitates. the sense of sheer awe of infinite magnitude of creation and its mysteries. i think einstein thought he was much closer to gods mind than any religion ever was. and can you blame him? i cant even begin to imagine how smart he must have been.

Did Einstein and John von Neumann ever interact? Von Neumann seems more intelligent

von neuman might have been more intelligent, but what einstein did was something way more to be proud of. effort and imagination and inspiration still count for something, and he outdid von neman in scope and brilliance. im just a lay person, barely passed high school physics, but from what i do understand of einsteins work, it was maybe the most groundbreaking human intellectual achievement ever. at least one in the craziest direction. the abstraction of it is frustrating, but you cant talk to nature on your own terms. and the beauty of it all of course is that he was proven experimentally right. to abstractly devise such things, even black holes, things he denied the existence of except only in his equations because it was too bizarre, all came to be true. we may not fully understand these things that relativity touched on, but they are a door to something insane and best of all, true.
