You are mushing together different philosophical traditions, though Einstein wasn't a philosopher.

I made the comment I did because you have often claimed that existentialism means a great deal to you. Given that, and that there are several traditions within it, it made sense to call your attention to a tradition within protestant theology that brought the two together, in this case Heidegger, as the embodiment of one school/tradition within existentialism.

If you don't wish to read any of it, I don't have any quarrel with you. You simply should know that there are many answers to the question as to what religion is. And one very prominent school within protestant theology works from the premise that it is not about belief in some sort of ancient cosmic structure but rather how one addresses the religious question of the meaning of life in which, as finite creature, one can never know the answer to.
