:::I did a little Googling and found that, while many people have linked relativity to moral relativism, Einstein himself apparently disbelieved such links: "Asked what effect his theory would have on religion, he said: 'None. Relativity is a purely scientific matter and has nothing to do with religion'" [http://www.slate.com/id/74164/].

I think that the point of view of the discoverer of the theory should at least be mentioned.
