Does a new born baby believe in God? What is a baby's religion?
Him or herself. Because we're all born spiritually blind.
The author is not speaking of the fine points of creed. Babies can't do math, either; but they are hardwired to do some eventually, and some scholars believe humans are hardwired for faith, as well. That may explain why atheists are so defensive about their belief system, even though it is based in denial.
a baby is different from an adult. keep up...
All sentient humans have a religious worldview.
All sentient humans must chose a God-centered, godless, or agnostic worldview. It is impossible to prove the existence or non-existence of God, therefore all three worldviews ( godless, agnostic, and God-centered) require faith. None of these states of belief are neutral in content or consequences for the individual or for the culture in which they live.
So.....My pet topic is education. It is also **impossible** to run a religiously neutral school. **NO** school is religiously neutral in its worldview or in its curriculum content or consequences for the child or the culture. For this reason ALL government schooling should be abolished and all education delivered privately.
Does a new born baby believe in God? What is a baby’s religion?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I suspect that you are not asking this question in a spirit of goodwill.
I have also noticed that atheists here on Free Republic are among the biggest defenders of our nation’s system of police enforced godless government K-12 indoctrination.
“Does a new born baby believe in God? What is a baby’s religion?”
No, because it is unable to grasp the concept of it’s place in the universe.
It has no language to define what surrounds it.
It has no memory because it cannot define what it experiences in terms of language.
It seemly eats sleeps and poops like an animal.
Years ago an atheist raised a child without teaching it about God and shutting it off from any influences that might teach it about God.
The Child created by itself the concept of an omnipresent deity that created all things in the universe to explain the world it lived in.
Depending on your point of view this is proof that either God exists or atheists are right about man....
