Good on you. FYI you can theoretically hire Penrose and Knuth too - they're all alive. You may find it interesting to read Einstein's discussions of religion and spirituality too, in particular this quote: I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal god is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."
