We are born with curiosity, and a need to understand our surroundings, and discover the "truth" of our existence. Religion (God) satisfies that need with easy answers, nothing more.
Some of us are simply more determined to find the truth than others.

Most people are born with a desire to understand the world in a profound way.
The Word of God gives us an ability to understand God.

I think we are born with a need for meaning. Some find that in various gods, some don't

No, fortunately most people are not born with schyzophrenic mental disorder. Unfortunately some people devellop these disorder strictly because of the bad influence of some people around them that continuously brainwash them.

Humans are just curious creatures that are very aware of their surroundings, and feel the need to understand things. If "god" explains things that cannot be explained for someone, then that is most likely what they'll believe in.

We are all born with a sin nature, and we all nee for somebody to take care of our sins. The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins if we would only trust and believe in Him. Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

I wouldn't say a need for it. I would say a niche for it. It is called ignorance. Anywhere there is a little ignorance there is room for a god to step in and fill the void.

Human beings naturally develop a sense that there must be something "more" to all of this. But things like religion need to be taught.

I think so. I honestly think that a need for spiritual existance and an understanding of something far more then us is what drives us. Which is why I admit I don't understand atheists at all.
