Albert Einstein spoke and wrote of God...yet he also was a skeptic...an
"agnostic"? Full wikipedia biography here;
During his time here...he did pay homage to the "wackos"...
From Wikipedia: Einstein spoke of his spiritual outlook in a wide array of original writings and interviews.[179] He said he had sympathy for the impersonal pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza's philosophy.[180] He did not believe in a personal god who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view which he described as naïve.[181] He clarified, however, that "I am not an atheist",[182] preferring to call himself an agnostic,[183][184] or a "deeply religious nonbeliever".
Saying that he wasn't atheist and claiming alliance with Spinoza could be interpreted as paying homage... I doubt he would really have a problem with true definition of atheist, versus the Christian definition.
