This excerpt seems pretty cut and dry though.
It seems he was a atheist.
I would agree that Einstein was an atheist in the traditional sense. He seemed to be quite consistent in lacking a belief in a personal deity. He made allusions to pantheism at times, but that seemed to be more of a wishy-washy hippy spiritualism, or more charitably a sense of awe and wonder when looking at nature.
I really don't see why it makes any difference either way. There were many very intelligent people through the ages that were devout theists, atheists, and those who believed all sorts of crazy things. Evidently, intelligence is not a panacea for fallibility.
