Honestly, there are so many different religions in the world that we can’t be born with all of them, and we are not born with even one religion, just like how we are not born to speak, write or read languages, which there are so many of.

I don’t know what would happen, but I don’t think people are just born with any religion, so they can’t be born a religious person such as a Muslim.

If babies were not born with the innate ability to speak, write, or read, then they would never speak, write, or read, at any point in their lives.

Speaking and writing are also physical abilities.  They also learn to crawl, climb, walk, and run if there are no disabilities to prevent them.

Being religious is not akin to being born with the eventual ability to walk and talk.
