Pantheism has a strange definition. It does not refer only to belief
in multiple gods, but also means: A doctrine identifying the Deity
with the universe and its phenomena.

To that meaning one could quote any reference in which Einstein
appeals to the harmony of Nature as god as proof of his pantheism.
That includes his references to Spinoza's god. A web search will
reveal references.
