When a child is born, he/she has no religion, right? Then he/she is baptized, or whatever, and at that point I guess you could say that the child has entered into whatever faith the parents decided. The parents raise the child according to their faith. Now, if the child grows up to be an adult who rejects religion, is that adult not reverting back to the same condition as when he/she was born, and is this not closer to a symbolic "rebirth" than being "saved" by Jesus? The former returns you to your original state, the latter does not, so how, if you "accept Jesus", are you "born again"?
