AnswerNo. Albert Einstein said that he was already an atheist himself by the age of twelve, so he is unlikely to have argued the opposite case with his university professor. Also, there is another version of this story, that casts even more doubt on its veracity. In the second version, it was a much younger Einstein who argued with his atheist school teacher. What we see here is an attempt by theists to use the name of a respected scientist to shore up the case for religious belief.
Einstein himself wrote a letter to a friend outlining his position on religion (see Link) which leaves little room for him to be a "man of faith"

Did Einstein go to hell because he was an atheist?

OpinionEinstein always tried to test God's power and questioned Him constantly. No one knows for sure where he went, but based on what he wrote before his death, it's most likely that he did.No, Einstein did nothing wrong about questioning the facts of life and trying to discover new things.If Einstein was an atheist, and did not believe in heaven or hell, he could have gone to either. The better question to ask would have been "was Einstien right in his belief about the existence of god?"---Only Einstein knows.
