Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

We traced this line directly to Einstein's own address "Science and Religion," delivered to the Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religion in New York in September 1940 and published in the 1941 symposium volume before being collected in his own essay anthology *Out of My Later Years* (1950), where the sentence appears in that essay. One of our research passes raised doubts about whether the exact two-clause pairing exists verbatim in a primary source, suggesting it might be a later editorial conflation of two separate remarks, but that pass could not name any competing author or earlier origin and ultimately conceded the sentiment is undeniably Einstein's — which under our policy points to attribution at worst, not misattribution. Weighed against that uncertainty, the printed record is strong: the phrase appears verbatim as Einstein's within the "Science and Religion" essay, and reputable secondary treatments such as Philip Clayton's *Religion and Science: The Basics* (2018) and James D. Proctor's *Science, Religion, and the Human Experience* (2005) reproduce the sentence and correctly note that Einstein was invoking his own "cosmic religious feeling" rather than a personal God. An Internet Archive full-text pass on a handful of Einstein titles returned no verbatim hit, but that is inconclusive given known coverage gaps and does not outweigh the documented essay. Readers should be aware that the line is routinely quoted in isolation and made to sound like an endorsement of conventional doctrinal religion, which misrepresents Einstein's meaning. On the strength of its appearance in Einstein's own published essay, we are marking this quotation as verified.
