He appears to use it to try to encompass the seemingly intelligent properties of the universe, the order and various universal laws that allow for life on earth to prosper.

Yea I was going to post it but no need to be that harsh. Religious groups have been trying to tie in Einstein into this sort of things for years, perhaps the worst example I read was in a work of fiction by Frederik Pohl where a computer Einstein personality went temporarily insane when he discovered that the universe was pretty much standard science fiction like with no apparent need/place for God. Apparently even Pohl bought into the concept that Einstein was some kind of strong believer, when while he was alive Einstein was often criticized by religious groups for his apparent lack of faith.
So its understandable that a lot of people assume Einstein was somehow religious, I think its been a conscious goal of some groups to try to tie into the one scientist/genius everyone knows of. Its also dishonest of course.
