What came first, the atheist or the theist?
RE: What came first, the atheist or the theist?
Babies lack belief in god, because they have not been introduced to the concept and have not had the opportunity to believe and/or disbelieve. I think you must know of the concept of (whatever) in order to disbelieve it. Otherwise, you simply lack belief.

Heheh. Semantics. The point is... having never heard the claims that god(s) exist, people would obviously not believe in god(s).
