Are you saying that one will, by default, develop theism as one would normally develop walking skill (all being well)? If so, I don't agree. To use that analogy, theism would be more like developing roller-skates: you're born an a-skate-ist (atheist), develop walking skill (the capacity to believe things) and someone may or may not teach you to roller-skate (theist). You might work out roller-skating by yourself or you may even develop new forms of wheeled transport (Heeleys, you heretic!) although it's most likely that you'll adopt what you were taught.
Or am I getting you wrong?
