    Alot of these people believed through science that there was a God, even though they weren't religious.

    Einstein wasn't completely non-religious he was Jewish.

      Einstein is only "Jewish" in the sense that in Judaism people are Jewish if their mother was Jewish. It is NOT a genetic trait, but a belief system that people carry, so due to the fact he was not religious means he is not Jewish.

    W. there is no difference between non-religious and atheist... unless of course you can imagine a religion with no theism (caring god).

    If by atheist, you mean non-Christians you are correct. Most were Deists, and as Dan said believed that God could be found through science. Einstein was of Jewish decent, but through his quest for unification wanted to see "the mind of God".

    There is a difference between non-religious and athiest. I'm not religious, because I just haven't found a religion I identify with. I'm not an athiest because I believe in something; I just don't know what.

    They believed in the idea of a god, but not in the same sense that christians do. Their idea was of more of a prevailing energy that ran through everything. The were also just about as atheist as one could have been during their respective time periods.

      I think they mean that by studying the world around them, they can gain a better understanding of what their god created. And since, at the time that a lot of these people were existing, we didn't have such a wonderful understanding of the natural mechanisms of the world, it was this pursuit to understand their god that led to the amazing discoveries that allow us now to well-reasoned atheists, as opposed to just people who dislike the church.

    Ben Franklin...not an atheist as he believed in a supreme being and felt the best way to serve his god was to follow the golden rule. He didn't believe in the whole Christianity thing.

    I am more worried with the fact that nobody caught motivational being spelled wrong than what religion Einstein was...

    Abraham Lincoln an atheist? "I can understand how a man can look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God." --ABRAHAM LINCOLN--

    If you read about Einstein he was not religious in any since of the word there for more of an atheist as Richard Dawkins put it no one can be for sure there is no god but on a scale of 1-7 I am a 6.9. I believe from what I have read most of these men where a 6 close to 7. So yeah they are atheist to the extent of unicorns and Zeus as well. You can debate semantics but the fact remains none of these men where religious nor did they have a personal god. Which is what is required to be a theist correct me if I am wrong.

    Some of these comments have merit. There is religion, and then there is practicing religion. Non-practicing, (secular could possibly be used here) people aren't necessarily atheistic. Atheism is in itself a set of beliefs. Some people confuse being atheistic with being agnostic, so that might also come into play. As for believing in God through science, I think that's just not phrased as well as it might have been. I think the idea is that they believed that science wasn't going against religion, as was frequently considered to be the case.
