2007 UTC Edison was not an atheist An atheist don t believe in any kind of God personal or impersonal I don t think that Edison s views were fairly consistent with Einstein s Einstein was an agnostic See List of agnostics Edison was probably a deist He didn t believe in a theistic God however he believe in some kind of supreme intelligence And he did say that Religion is all bunk and he clearly didn t believe in a personal God 13 18 28 September
