For that matter animals are atheists. Right?

I believe babies are un-theist, if you will.

I see alot of atheist here argue that "we are all born atheist".
How can that be true?
Don't you have to use your head to make some decisions about this?

Have you even known a baby to believe, "there is no God"?

Babies don't have opinions. They just eat, sh*t, and cry.

1. If you are right, then any fool could be anything, even a Christian. So what difference does it make?
2. No, animals are not atheists. Being an atheist is a distinct belief-system whereby people believe that God does not exist. Animals do not believe anything at all about God. In any case, arguing that someone is dumb or bad because animals act a certain way is a poor argument, because they all breath and have sex, but that doesn't say anything about human beings in general.
If you are trying to insult atheists, you are doing a poor job of it. You're just making the rest of us look like idiots instead.

Wrong!
Only a fool decides to remain willfully ignorant.
Why would an animal be an atheist? They are unaware of the human need for a supernatural creator.
My son was never an un-theist because I never started brainwashing him when he was little.

All babies are atheists by definition. Have you ever known a baby that believed in a god or gods?

I think a newborn baby and an animal is atheist by default because (s)he is unaware of any god.
However, I also think that to be a true atheist, you have to decide to not believe, not just be it because its all you know.
'Atheism' and 'ignorance' aren't synonymous, in my book.

No. People are born ignorant. Being an Atheist means they deny all deities. When you are born you have no idea of these complex notions.

There are two different kinds of Atheist
Those who have researched and rejected the idea of God
Those who have never considered (or are unable to consider) theological questions
People are born the latter.

I believe that would say atheism is the natural order of things. People are taught religion, and the one taught varies, nothing natural or consistent about that. Blind faith and dogma measure a "fool".
