未来的宗教，将是一种宇宙宗教。它将是一种超越人格化神，远离一切教条和神学的宗教。

这种宗教，包容自然和精神两个方面，作为一个有意义的统一体，必定是建立在由对事物的——无论是精神，还是自然的——实践与体验而产生的宗教观念之上的。

佛教，符合这种特征。

                                         ——艾尔伯特 . 爱因斯坦

原文：

"the religion of the future will be a cosmic religion.buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal god, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. buddhism answers this description. if there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be buddhism."
