You are completely wrong here. Children at a young age are not skeptical at all. Thats why they believe in Santa, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy. Seriously have you ever spoken to a little kid? The believe anything you tell them.
I hope you're kidding. Children at a young age are not skeptical at all? Can you think about that statement for a second and tell me how you can make such a sweeping, total universal claim? Ugh.
I mean, we could take your same argument and make it show atheism to be nonsensical.
a) Kids believe all kinds of nonsense.
b) Most atheists became atheists when they were kids
Therefore, most atheists became atheists by believing nonsense.
Too sweeping?
