Einstein believed in God; Einstein was not stupid; ergo Last Conformist is stupid.

So, what's your definition of god and what assumptions lead you to make that prediction?

Einstein believed in God

Einstein's god was akin to Spinoza's. Personified universe, similar to how I call my boat a 'she'. I suspect most people who mention Einstein's god would be quite disappointed if he were around to explain how his 'god' is of the impersonal variety.
