I would say it is. Throughout history, mankind has had that which he believed was greater than himself. I don't think that is an accident. But being man, he tends to humanize and anthropomorphize what would have to be so far beyond merely human as to be incomprehensible.
We have the divine spark, and as such recognize that it came from outside ourselves. But there our understanding seems to stop.....so we continue to learn grow and evolve...eventually we may even transcend our ignorance and know "God".

It is inherent when a child developes logic. It does not mean that a child necessarily will come to believe in a personal God, but the greater mystery of the universe can only be attributed to a creator.

There is an inherent need in almost all people to believe in some religion or something about afterlife. It's one of the seven criteria to be classified as a civilization. There have only been two civilizations in history that did not appear to have some type of religion.

The recognition of a GREATER BEING is inherent. God made us that way. We WILL worship something. If not the true living God, a false diety, money, power, etc. It's just human nature to search for something more out of life.

We are all, and I mean ALL, born with no knowledge of god, Santa or the president.
All these things are taught to us as we grow, by the society in which we live.
Some of it we can see is actually real, the president or whoever, some of which we can clearly see is not.
It is up to the individual to decide whether to follow the herd and chuck away their reason to believe in fantasies. Or continue as they were born and focus on reason and reality.

Yes we are all born with a sense of something larger than ourselves, I believe life with all it's pain causes us to build walls around our hearts to protect ourselves and the Holy Spirit works to break them down so that we can see the truth again.

Religious experience is a product of human biology. God is a biological artifact: We don't believe in God because He exists, but because our brains trick us into believing that He does

The Encyclopedia Britannica states:
"There has never existed any people, anywhere, at any time, who were not religious."
Psychiatrist Carl Jung states:
"Religion is instinctive....."

Not: we humans have free will, and sorry to upset you but free will is something that the Islamic inshallah fatalism does not recognize.

If that's what you believe, by all means recognise.
Don't let the others with cinical and atheist views change what you think. Have faith in what you believe and don't let others lead you astray.
Good luck! ;)
