These are the words of Albert Einstein in a letter being sold this week. Also in the letter, Einstein says that, "[f]or me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions, . . .

As a philosophy major with a high interest in religion, I have spent much time thinking of these things. I truly do believe religion is a calming of the masses. I believe that religion causes great and unnecessary divides. I believe that (in general) the less educated a person is the more fervently he believes in the fundamentals of his religion.
But ultimately I agree with Kant and find that it is impossible to disprove God. I believe that my religious beliefs provide me comfort that could not be achieved otherwise. And I quite frankly find that having faith at your darkest moments is the most difficult thing to do. And it is during that dark period, if you can truly have faith that I believe you find the most enlightenment.
