I was born atheist. Even as a kid I never believed all that BS about deities. That's why I asked what did you mean by "current".
I honestly don't know what the point you are trying to make is.
Atheism is not something you have to be born with, or have to be told to believe to believe, it's simply a denial of belief, not a belief in itself.
I don't understand what you are trying to say, it feels like you took "current" and made your own definition, and assumed things that i had never even thought of.
You aren't "Born an atheist" anymore than you are "Born a christian" you are born nothing, not with the rejection of god or the belief that there is one. It's actually pointless to make an argument that "everyone is born atheist because they don't know god" because they have not even begun to develop the thinking skills necessary to form an opinion of their own.
I mean that^ is a side story, I don't understand what you are saying man, a majority of atheists will say exactly what I said. By "current" i mean present views, I used to be a theist but converted instantly after seeing enough information. I would be willing to convert instantly as well to theism if presented enough information. I don't understand why you are trying to read in to a word like there is a story behind it.
Also I do not understand what you are saying, but if you are saying that some people are "born atheists" and therefore can never believe in religion, you are completely wrong, "Atheism" is not some gene you can be born with or without, or whatever you're getting at..
