Curiosamente, frases en las que se suprime el contexto, normalmente
cargado de condicionales.

Pero a ésas podemos añadirles otras mucho más explícitas:

"I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children
for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held
responsible; in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him."
(Letter to Edgar Meyer, a colleague, January 2, 1915 Source: Robert
Schulmann)

My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that
a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles
for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a
law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and
punishment.
(Letter to M. Berkowitz, October 25, 1950; Einstein Archive 59-215)

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever.... This is a somewhat new kind of
religion.
(Letter to Hans Muehsam March 30, 1954; Einstein Archive 38-434)

El original dice:

"To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a
something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity
reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is
religiousness. In this sense I am religious."
(Einstein's speech 'My Credo' to the German League of Human Rights, Berlin, autumn
1932)

¿No es una curiosa traducción ésa en la que se meten mayúsculas
inexistentes?

Saludos
