“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it’s beauty.”
~Albert Einstein
One of the most important criteria for any complete education is skepticism. Systems of beliefs and articles of faith should be rational considerations, even if they may include existential ideas or parameters. Why limit ourselves?
“Science and religion are compatible, declares Einstein, the famous physicist. In his essays, Einstein views science as the basis for a “cosmic” religion, embraced by scientists, theologians, and all who share a sense of wonder in the rationality and beauty of the universe.”
In the course of his career, Einstein wrote more than 300 scientific and 150 nonscientific publications. These essays date from the 1930s and 40s.
In direct, everyday language, Einstein develops a coherent view that transcends the antiquated religions about fear and modern religions about ethics. Albert’s concept of a cosmic religion combines science and religion, with science forming the basis for a more enlightened religion.

worship and prayer tokens. He appreciated Spinoza’s metaphysical and semantic acrobatics…
“The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”
~ Albert Einstein
