People are not born religious. Plus, discrimination is a thing that is taught, so if that can be taught, so can religion. I am sure it is not a natural thing.

Plus, how can people be religious as babies when they are born? They are not developed to think about things like even religion at that stage of life.

They are born with an innate religious impulse and that impulse develops as they get older. That impulse (to be religious) is not something that is taught to them.
