David Eller here.
“All people are born Muslim”–that’s just too funny. A Hindu might say that all people are born Hindu. What’s going on here is that each religion is trying to claim the default position. But of course NO religion is the default position, and I mean that in both sense of the term: there is no religion that is the default position, and no-religion, the absence of religion, is the default position. There are some psychological traits that make humans prone to religious ideas, but obviously no particular religion is born into a human being.
BTW, Ummadam, I AM AN ATHEIST WHO DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF GOD(S) AND OTHER IMAGINARY BEINGS.
