Nope, just didn't bother with them because they're irrelevant to the discussion.
And I know I can always count on some poor soul who doesn't quite understand what's being discussed to provide any necessary irrelevance.

Einstein's opinions on god are fairly irrelevant except out of sheer curiosity. Since his intelligence is so legendary to the point where his last name is synonymous with a genius, it's basically just an appeal to authority. Einstein is simply a very, very smart and creative man that caught a wave of fame.
His writings imply that he basically was an atheist. People can sex it up a bit and call it pantheism. From what I can tell, in regards to religion, he's like a Carl Sagan that picks his words less carefully.

What diffence does it make to what you? I thought you'd believe it was all the same anyways.

Pantheism usually has more supernatural strings attached then atheism.

Not accurate. Atheism doesn't mean 'not superstitious'. You can be an atheist and believe in ghosts, psychic powers, ufos, fairies etc.
So pantheism is simple one variety of atheism.

Scientific Pantheism is just a diplomatic form of atheism, probably why I have it on my Facebook account and here, because it does not have the same blunt impact as the word "atheist", but it still means the same thing.

It may come across as strange to someone who is only materialistic and sees nothing but symptoms (effects) instead of causes.
When it is truly understood that materialism is nothing but a property of energy and not vice versa it kind of throws a monkey wrench into what is being taught as science.
This is why our BEST scientists were not in agreement with their mainstream colleagues.
Theory of relativity is not just a math formula. It even had a huge impact on our philosophy.This reality is a funny thing you know.

You are overlooking the word "usually". I know what atheism is, I don't need you to explain it to me. But in my experience, generally, pantheist are more superstitious then atheist.
"So pantheism is simple one variety of atheism."
No, it is not. Some pantheist are more theistic like then atheistic.

Sorry, it's not my job to teach you how to think.
That's all on you. Just like it's on you to explain what point you think the quotes you provided make in relation to the OP (and "you forgot" doesn't cut it).But then if you gave it that much thought you'd see how the quotes you used don't have any bearing on the question one way or the other. Of course, you didn't.
Not sure how you define boorish but I'm loving the irony.
