Outside influence on a new born baby is negligible whereas instinctive behaviour in manipulating adult attention is 'instinctive'. It's there as a natural protection mechanism. As children grow there is adult influence to curb the selfishness to conform to a societal model of coexistence. Still we perceive overt selfishness as undesirable and punish it. This is our western society ethical framework, which strangely coincides with the predominant religious influence.
Here's my proof that babies are evil: http://www.cracked.com/article_18404_6-s...le-of.html
No one is talking about inherent belief, but observable inherent traits we can agree on. Childhood indoctrination is counter productive on many levels. A vast majority of atheists here are from such backgrounds. I myself am from a non religious background. The way to convince people to choose to follow Christ is not by taking the choice away.
