That's fine. But you know, Einstein didn't believe in god. That is a lie spread out by Christians probably to refute the same point you're trying to make. Also most of the modern scientists (the ones that know or knew about big bang, evolution, etc) also don't believe in god. I bet they don't even call themselves atheists. Today we are reaching a post-theistic stage in which people don't want to waste their time thinking in religion or stuff like that. I personally hate the "atheist" title. Is ridiculous, just like it would be ridiculous to have a name for someone who doesn't believe in ghosts or goblins. Finally, any serious person that knows about science and philosophy of science knows that religion and science have nothing to do with each other. You can perfectly be both. What you can't do, is call yourself a person of science, and don't accept scientific evidence for something that was scientifically measured.

> Einstein didn't believe in god. "I am not an atheist" - Albert Einstein > Also most of the modern scientists (the ones that know or knew about big bang, evolution, etc) also don't believe in god. Who? Research it, their views pretty much run the gamut like anyone else's. For example: "Although I am now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on. Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of thought, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point." - Werner Heisenberg Pascual Jordan was Christian, Enrico Fermi was Agnostic, Max Born was a Jewish Lutheran but was just completely apathetic to organized religion while Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman and John Bell were self avowed Atheists. Schrödinger called himself an Atheist but had a strong affinity for Eastern spiritually and Oppenheimer was into Hinduism. And if you want to get into some really weird stuff, look up Jack Parsons, founder of JPL at NASA. Scientists are just people like the rest of us and grapple with the same questions in life all of us do.
