Well, no.... Einstein was definitely spiritual, but not in anyway a deist. Here are some of his quotes about religion and spirituality.

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

I find that those without spirituality tend to lose sight of the larger goal though which is why I have a hard time siding with with either side in this flame war.
