I doubt his religion played any part in creating his theories.


In a way it did. He fervently believed in a steady state universe and
created a 'cosmological constant' (fudge factor) to make his equations
work.

I don't know if his belief derived from Judaism but it was strong enough
to ignore what his math was telling him.


Don't need religion to do that. Just the intelligence to know that the
maths isn't quite right.
