Einstein was a life-long pacifist.

The 700-page book "Einstein on Peace" is the most comprehensive record of everything he wrote, during his life, about Peace. It was published posthumously, by his family foundation, to counter the uninformed claims, that he gave up his pacifist convictions.

Einstein never urged FDR to start the Manhattan Project. He hadn't believed that energy would be released from the atom, during his life-time. When early experiments showed that this might actually happen, Leo Szilard asked Einstein to sign a letter to FDR, telling him about this possibility.

After World War II, Einstein continued his pacifist views, and became a crusader for nuclear arms control, and peace-making through international negotiations.

Why did scienitsts walk off the Manhattan project?

The scientists did not "give up" on the Manhattan Project. They accomplished their goals of developing three atom bombs. The Project ended at the end of the war. The workers went home and much of the "little towns" were taken down. There was no need for the project to continue after the war. It cost 2 billion dollars back then to create the three bombs so the government would not fund it any further when there was no need for further work.
