Best Answer
Einstein was ethnically, but not religiously, Jewish. He was even approached to become the first Prime Minister of the new state of Israel (a largely ceremonial post), but he turned them down.

He specifically rejected being called atheist, claiming rather to be agnostic. Overall, he seems to have had deist leanings.

Did Albert Einstein convert to Islam?

Obviously not. It is not mentioned anywhere that Albert Einstein was a Muslim. Einstein was born into a Jewish family. Around the time Einstein was eleven years old he went through an intense religious phase, during which time he followed Jewish religious precepts in detail, including abstaining from eating pork. During this time he composed several songs in honour of God. But during most of his life Einstein was not a practicing Jew. One of Einstein's most famous quotes on the subject of science and religion is: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Einstein is said to have held a concept of God similar to that promulgated by Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza. It has been reported by some Christian Science sources that Einstein attended Christian Science services in New York and that Einstein said that Mary Baker Eddy was right in her theories about an essentially non-physical universe.
