I have never heard a baby deny the existence of God. To say that someone is born an atheist, is the same tragic type of lie as saying that someone is born homosexual, you become an atheist or a homosexual (you are not born either of them).
People evolve into atheism, after they are subjected to a world view and mindset that is actively and militantly hostile toward God and His Word over time, thusly this evolution doesn't happen all at once. But, strangely, it does transform them into beasts!

I've never heard a baby affirm the existance of god.
In fact, the only thing I've ever heard a baby say was something like waaaaaaaaaargh.
I have never heard a baby confirm the existence of God. To say that someone is born a Christian, is the same tragic type of lie as saying that someone is born Muslim, you become an Christian or a Muslim (you are not born either of them).

Fixed.
"I have never heard a baby deny the existence of God. "
I have never heard a baby affirm the existence of god, so god must not exist.
If you never tell them about religion they don't spontaneously know anything about it.
If anything they are born Agnostic, because they don't know (or care). It's only after you (as the parents) tell them about religion that they blindly accept it. Children believe what their parents tell them to.

Do you always do what the babies tell you, teddy?

I've never heard a baby deny this, so it must be true, right teddy?
Babies don't talk well enough to give an opinion but I've heard a toddler who was never told anything about religion say gods are pretend.
If kids are born knowing about your god than explain to me what happened to my kids. My 10 year old isn't sure why Jesus is on a cross and my 6 year old says it isn't Jesus on the cross because Jesus is a baby in a Christmas story.
This one is easy to prove. Find families where children are raised without any religion. No Bible, no Torah, no Qur'an, nothing. They don't automatically believe in Jesus or God or Allah. That requires parental influence.
If a baby popped out and the first thing it said was "by the way, I'm an atheist, so don't bother trying to indoctrinate me" you'd put an anti-demon whammy on it so fast, it's head would spin.
Have you ever heard a baby proclaim there is a god? You're full of shit, freddy. I was baptized in a Presbyterian church and raised by agnostic parents. We never discussed religion and I wasn't allowed to read the Buy-bull until I was 12, then I was encouraged to reach my own conclusions. By the time I finished "The Word" I was pretty sure that: a. no gods have ever existed and b. Buy-bullgod was a particularly nasty and illogical myth.
I'm also a moral, lawful, person respected by my friends and acquaintances. I've never committed a crime or even been stopped for minor traffic infractions. Neither have my atheist friends who had similar upbringings.
And, while it took some of them years to realize it, my many gay friends are all convinced they were born to be gay. So? You are wrong on all counts.

Gee...I've never heard a baby affirm his Christianity or heterosexuality either...so are those learned, too? I mean unless you've heard that, this is a pretty lame argument.

How you know what you claim to know is of interest. Are you a gay pretending to be straight, and in so doing living a lie to protect you position? Or is this just plain bullshit you are talking. Do say which one it is.
You dont even understand what evolve means.
*sigh* every life form is born atheist, and some could be born homosexual as well.
Frankly you sound like an ignorant ass.
babies are blank slates you moron, they will believe anything because they haven't learned how to tell the difference between truth and fiction yet.
the rest of your post is nothing but lies and propaganda
If you want to get pedantic about it, everyone is born atheist by default, since no infant has any concept of god in the same way they won't have any concept of tying their shoelaces. Religion and tying shoelaces can only be learned. They don't automatically believe.
Atheism=lack of belief in a deity.
A baby has no beliefs of any kind.
Is it that hard to work out?
I've gotten to the point of saying: Fine there's a God. I have no problem with there's a God. I still don't believe there is but; Fine, there's a God. I'll give you that
You can't possibly convince me you or anyone speaks for him or that book came from him.
Game over, you self-important fraud
It can be demonstrated that a baby must learn belief in a particular religion. However some research shows that the human mind has a predisposition towards gods and religion which combined with indoctrination provides a powerful faith, this research also indicates that the human mind has greater difficulty grasping the non-existence of god(s) than with simply accepting gods to be real.
