Sounds like Al was not a big fan of God.

Einstein's Religion-Bashing 'God Letter' Expected to Sell for $1.5 Million at Christie's.
"The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of venerable but still rather primitive legends," Einstein wrote (translated into English). "No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change anything about this."

Although he did not consider himself an Atheist.....
"Einstein vocally rejected the idea of a personal God who concerned himself with the comings and goings of human beings, but likewise did not consider himself an atheist. In a letter penned in March 1954, he explained, "If something is in me which can be called religious, then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.""
That was written a year before he died. It sounds like he got to a point where he was seriously questioning the meaning of life, the universe, etc., but never quite received the gift of Grace (although there is still a chance he might have got it towards the last few months of his life).
