When we are born, we are born without the knowledge of gods, but are taught these things. Any thoughts on this and why?
Yes, all born atheist.
Taught for Control.
Why else.
Much of the behavior around religion and children by those promoting religion two children is borderline child abuse at best
I think Ozzy would call them and house cats lacktheists
Yes. Belief in a god(s) has to be instilled in children.
Yes. Children are born atheists. Why would they come up with that idea on their own? There is nothing in the natural world to make them think there is a God. Of course, technically, a child would not have the brain capacity to even understand it when they are born or babies
Yes they are taught by family, church/temple and religious/Sunday school.
We are all born with blank slates. One must be taught beliefs, prejudices and hatred.
If you have nothing to believe, you then have nothing to not believe. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Nope.
Can't be an "atheist" until/unless you are taught the god-concept. Babies are born with exactly zero concepts.
Semantics, really.
Yes, we are all born with no beliefs. If our family doesn't raise us with a particular religion, our society and the world around us still will impose some accepted mythos with beliefs that are likely taken for granted unless the child grows up with a critical mind and a bit of skepticism, in seeking the truth in how things should be.
I wasn't born catholic, but I was raised catholic. If I had been born in India, I may have been raised Hindu, in Asia perhaps Buddhist.
There a naturally born blank canvas with very basic needs and a huge brain ready to learn as shown by kids brought up by dogs.
Yes. Stories only exist because we let them spread.
Of course they are. They have no knowledge of the god claims, much less accept and believe them. Children have to trust their parents for their sustenance and safety when they are growing up, so they tend to believe everything their parents tell them, Santa, Easter Bunny, God, but after you've been indoctrinated for years and never told opposing views, it can be hard to change those beliefs.
