I can't vote on this since, in my opinion, they see their mother as God.

Babies are born with no opinions of anything. They don't have the capacity to understand religion, lack thereof, or anything else, really. Everything must be learned. A baby cannot be Atheist until it learns what Atheism is.

Babies are born without belief in any gods, therefore a-theist.

Babies are born atheist, as they do not have a belief in any god/s. They have not learned about the subject of god/s and so have no belief, nor disbelief, any possibility of belief is simply absent.

They can't be agnostic, because they have not thought about the subject of gods to come to a conclusion about whether it's possible to know whether god/s exist or not.

God/s are a human construct injected into society. We are not born with the knowledge of god/s. Those are my thoughts.

Babies are born agnostic, not knowing. Atheist means to not believe in a god, and they can't have that belief unless given a choice. They have to have a concept of God to reject one.

Babies are born with no beliefs. They don't have sufficient brain structure and world knowledge to adopt beliefs. Atheism is the belief there is no god. Instead, babies are actually agnostics until their culture makes them otherwise.

Are dogs atheist?
Your answer to that will also apply to babies.
Or does it suddenly seem a silly question?

People are forever messed up on the use of the word atheist. The atheist/agnostic argument is insane. I am an agnostic atheist. Just call me an un-believer if you like.

On to babies and how they are born. A baby has no way of knowing anything unless you teach it to them. It is how you indoctrinate a child as to whether it will be a believer or not.

Please stop fighting the "atheist/agnostic" argument. I am "against theism or without theism". This is what atheist means. Without gods. You may call yourself agnostic but a lot of them are in churches. They have doubts. I have no doubts but I do not know everything. I cannot answer the god question and neither can you.

Buy a computer without an operating system or software it will turn on and run basic input output system but it will do nothing else until you install the programs (software) on a baby it is, in very simple terms the same. Just remember GIGO (garbage in garbage out)

Technically, when I'm saying atheist, I mean humans developed to the point of achieving rational thought.

On the other hand, I consider people to be born "not-theists" because humans are not born Christian or Muslim, etc. Children have to be indoctrinated to become either of those.
Which is what atheists mean by that word, as far as I know.

Of course, some people who are not calling themselves atheists, assert that anyone calling themselves atheist are making a claim that gods do not exist, which is highly ironic for people who are supposed to be "aware of what they do NOT know for sure". I can ask the religious what it means to be an atheist, I can ask the "pure agnostic" what it means to be an atheist, or I can ask the atheists what it means to be an atheist.
If you use the definition offered by people who are not calling themselves atheists - which I think fits the definition of anti-theism - then babies are not born "atheist".

Language is a wonderful thing...

As far as we know, babies are born without any knowledge of god or knowledge of anything besides conditions in the womb & their experience of birth. They have to be inculcated into a belief in god by their parents & society. As babies apparently don't know about god, they don't really know god doesn't exist, so they are not atheists. I would say they are agnostics, as for them this is an open question, so they might be called agnostics

The simple fact is that we, as a group, are born hardwired for superstition. You can see signs of superstition even among some very staunch Atheists, and even other animals. It is the result of a remnant of a very ancient information processing mechanism and our imagination. While some individuals seem to be born sceptics, an innate full lack of belief in anything supernatural is rare and often associated with mental developmental issues (such as an inability to associate "cause" and "effect" ). Atheism is for nearly all people, a learned behavior, as is religion. Superstition is innate.

Children are born with a sense of wonder.
It’s how their parents interpret that, into god, jesus, etc.

At this point they are probably also A-Leprechaunists as well (unless they've been seeing those little guys as babies are won't to do).

human beings seek religion or any of the other falsities we create as a means of identification. as I tried to tell the atheists for years such identification must have some sort of positive attribute for reference. the lack of attributes is not itself an attribute for identity's sake. thats not how the mind works no matter how logical that sounds or looks in a venn diagram. that's why historically atheists have a hard time organizing around a strict view of believing nothing. I know I know I know there are examples of people being able to organize atheist groups and enjoy a fellowship in it. I would contend that group is founded on friendship and not atheism. people with similar beliefs in similar cultures often have similar likes. this is all to say there is really no such thing as an atheist. it's just a tag to identify the remnants ... the leftovers. they need to seek some other tag for identification.

If it wasn’t for religious indoctrination at an early age there would likely be a lot more atheist than there are now.

Both, they don't know and they also don't don't hold a belief

babies are born with the need to eat and be taken care of. Religion is what their parents push on them.

Humans are born blissfully naive of the idiocy that is religion.

I would say babies are born as agnostic atheists. We aren't born with the knowledge of gods and we lack belief in gods when born.

Babies are not born anything!

But, human!

If we can label new born humans, what do we name other species!

We in reality have no known knowledge that other spieces are not spiritual or have some sort of rudimentary beliefs between them, since humans are not able to communicate with them on the same level as the so called prime superior spieces or masters as head of the food Chain!!!

Religious people always claim god has revealed himself to everybody. If that is true and he reveals himself at birth then a baby cannot be agnostic. Is that the religious argument? If it is then it’s another one of those bat shit crazy claims!

Religion and atheism are learned traits. It falls under auspices of cultural learning. It is not innate.

Every infant worships his/her primary care-giver (usually the mother). As the child develops, that worship is often mis-directed by adult theists towards a mythical entity.

How do i vote for a tag?
