I don't think this is true. It depends who's making the claim and who's assessing it, and what the claim is.
I think the default for children listening to parents, for example, is (and should be) belief.

Then your concept of God, i.e., the meaning you attribute to the term "God," is defective.
Really? How do you determine the correctness of God concepts? Let me guess-- God is an everlasting, all-loving God who punishes non-believers with an eternity of damnation?
