Someone commented on the
religiousdebate community that children are born atheists.
Someone else pointed out that being atheist indicates an ability to decide if they believe or not.
My first thought to that would be "So it would make more sense to say that children are born agnostic."
But that also implies enough knowledge to say "I don't know the answer and it can't be proved either way, I don't believe but I don't disbelieve. I don't know."
The knowledge to know that they dont know.
What is the religious and/or spiritual nature of children and babies?
