Yes, it would be unnatural for anyone to learn nothing. I am saying that it is natural for people to learn things. 

Maybe language has been studied the most. It appears that the mind is structured to be pre-disposed to language learning. Which language it learns depends on local conditions, but it is natural to learn one. 

Likewise, it seems reasonable to say, we are disposed to pick up social rules, ideas about how the world works, etc. So it is natural to lack knowledge as a baby, and natural to get it later.
dSo belief in a god depends on you parents and geo-location in much the same way as language, right?
