Bad liberal ,
If you are 'without the belief in God', you are still not claiming God doesn't not exist!

Again, bad liberal..
I was not indoctrinated.
I hated religion.
I was gloriously saved!

When my neice wasy born, she threw down her fists and screamed "how can you imbiciles still project your pathetic pathologies onto the universe, seeking a wise old man there who cares about the futility and meaningless of your life." The she went poo and we changed her diaper.

There is no such thing as an atheist.
An atheist claims that there is absolutely no God or gods, no higher power. But to make an absolute statement, that person would have to have ALL of the knowledge concerning the subject of God/gods. If I say there are no fish in the ocean, I would have to have ALL the knowledge of every cubic inch in the ocean to be able to make that statement, and for that statement to be true. But I don't have ALL the knowledge, neither does the self-proclaimed atheist.
Therefore an atheist is really an agnostic.

Atheism is a lack of belief. As a baby, you don't actually have a belief in any deity. Therefore, people are born atheist.
You ask a lot of questions, i hope you read the answers.

Well I sure wasn't born a believer all by myself and became a non believer...that makes no sense. I was always a non.
People are taught religion...babies have no concept of such a thing as religion or gods. They hardly have a concept of themselves for that matter...

People are born Atheists because baby's don't have the ability to understand abstract concepts like God.

When you were born did you have immediate knowledge of a god? No...you were taught whatever beliefs your parents had. So you weren't born believing in a god...it is something you learned and accepted.

Because everyone is born an atheist. Its your parents that make you believe. By baptism you become a member of the church. At such a ridiculous age.

Nobody is born an Atheist. Everyone is born a Theist. People choose to reject God. www.equip.org

Atheist means "without god". It is the lack of belief in god(s). Babies are not born with religious faith.

Religion, like other things, is taught by parents to children. It is very common to a child to inherit the beliefs of their parents and sometimes it takes, sometimes it doesn't. We are all born helpless.
