"Rational Theology isn't a thing"

"Everyone is born atheïst"

The first thing is blatantly a lie unless you think you have the power to make a grand philosophical tradition dissapear because you said so.

The second thing is a statement. A statement my old self would reply to and get banned by the mods here (rightfully so), but I'll just leave it at: it's a moronic statement I'm going to disregard just as hard as you people have been dancing around my arguments.

1) It's far from a lie.
Believing in something that has zero empirical evidence to support it's position is NOT rational, try and sugar coat it anyway you desire, that's a fact.

2) Everyone is born Atheist. - That is... Everyone is born lacking any belief in any kind of God/Gods.
I am yet to see any infant exit it's mothers womb engaged in any kind of prayer.

Everybody is born a blank. Any kind of "indoctrination" comes afterwards. That includes Atheism.

I voted "No", cause #science

Science doesn't exclude god. I'm not sure how it is suppose to do that. We can't detect if there is or isnt life on the other side of the Milkyway, but capable of detecting something that supposedly lies beyond our perception?
