You need to put his quotes in context Jobee. Einstein very clearly believed in God.
He recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe and this actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist:
"I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details."
Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed.
A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
