Unless you're arguing against physical determinism, then "could" is a sticky wicket. Could some kid deep in the jungle who's not been exposed to the idea of a Biblical God (for example) be theist about that God idea, any more than my beagle or my bunions?
For that matter, could the atheists here? Was there some alternate timeline in which their experiences were not what they were, and their beliefs?
