Aren't babies born atheist? [Spirituality & Religion]

An atheist is a person who either actively disbelieves in god/gods or simply a person who lacks belief in god/gods.

Obviously babies do not disbelieve that god exists but they DO lack a belief in god.
So therefor they must be atheists, yes?

Yes or no?

Neither believe or atheist. They are born with nothing in their brain. They learn as they grow up.

You're trying to skip ahead.
Do babies have a belief in god, yes or no?

If you say "yes" the they are theist. If you say "no" (no matter what qualifier you add after that) then they are atheist because they lack a belief in god.

So, yes or no?
