  • Was Einstein's use of the God-metaphor helpful or harmful?

    Einstein was an atheist who used God as a metaphor for the cosmos and the rules of the universe. His quotes have been misinterpreted by religious people who think Einstein believed in a personal god, or that he had faith in some sort of supernatural basis for the cosmos. Have Einstein's "God quotes" been helpful or harmful in communicating his ideas to future generations?
