      Yes, exactly my point. An infant has no knowledge of religion or religious concepts. They don’t disbelieve (atheism) because they have no understanding of the concept and until they’ve been exposed to the concept they can’t reject it. There is a difference between knowingly rejecting something and not knowing about it in the first place.

        Once again, atheism isn’t “disbelief” it’s the “lack of belief”, they’re two different things. You have to be convinced that there is any sort of deity. Atheism is also the default position, because it doesn’t make any claims, whereas theism makes a positive claim.
