we are born without knowledge of God, this is why the church says you are born of sin, for no knowledge of God is not an excuse, thus we are baptised at birth. This is the lie that the church wants you to believe, for it was put to the theologians of the time, that why do we not wait to be baptised until we are near the end of our days, then we would be absolved of all our sin? so the church devised the theory that we were born of sin and that we had to have our children baptised as babies, then you have to spend your life within the teachings of Jesus, so you could except his gift of dying for your sin. It is all been devised to rob you of free will and subjugate your conscience from the truth; that the church is really the work of greedy men out for power and money.

LOL. If that would be the case that we are born Atheist, then it kind of would be rebelling to be thinking about God's will for us.
However, we belong to God until the age of accountability, and then we make our choice. God gave us free will but He protects us until we "get it"...and we need to start to get it when we have reached the age of accountability. Because the free will deal is only here, when we die, there is no free will anymore.

Atheism, gnostism, christianity, these are all choices not how we are born. Aside from that God never intended for man to be religious. Religions are often mans attempt to form God in his own image. What God desires is to have a relationship with us through His Son. We can choose to exept or reject that it does not matter what label we attach to it.

Why would it EVER be against God's will to believe in him. If it were against his will that anyone other than people born into religion believe in him, we would ALL be doomed. And missionaries would be working in vain. We are born not knowing about God. We all have to learn his ways.

No one is born with any religion; it has to be learned. Not being a theist, I don't think of things in terms of "God's will", but I do believe we best serve our purpose in life by professing what we honestly believe, be it atheism or fundamentalism. That's not to say that people don't learn and change, but I think the propensity to religion is deeply seated and you either have it or you don't.

I think we are born with no religious status. We get that in time, learning to be like the ones who are around us (usually parents), and later learning to judge ourselfs what we know

We are all born Atheists, until some parental/social force causes us to think otherwise

I think babies are born agnostic, without knowledge one way or the other.
Atheist kind of implies rejection of the god idea.

that's the point - we aren't born atheist, since God is with us and within us always.

Only if we were meant to be in relationship with God.
