Einstein's 'God letter' up for sale at auction

Posted online

Albert Einstein's so-called God letter is scheduled to be put up for sale at Christie’s auction house in New York City today.

Einstein wrote the controversial letter to German philosopher Eric Gutkind in 1954 in response to his book called "Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt." In the letter, Einstein rejected God and religion.

The letter became public in 2008 when it sold at auction for $404,000. It's now expected to fetch up to $1.5 million.
