Does a new born baby believe in God? What is a baby's religion?

Him or herself. Because we're all born spiritually blind.

We're all born spiritually blind.

I don't believe that at all.

In our hearts the Lord has embedded in ALL man the knowledge that HE "Is."

We may become "spiritually misguided" or deceived.

At my father’s funeral, the priest pointed out that as children our parents are our first God. They know it all, take care of us, hold us, teach us. As we get older, we come to the place where we realize that our parents are mortals like us, and are fellow pilgrims on the road to God.

A baby is naturally self-centered, but he isn’t in awe of himself and doesn’t cry out to himself for aid.

Yes, but the contention of the article is that we are all hard wired to develop a spirituality.
