Some atheists have argued that children are naturally
non-believers. Were it not for indoctrination at the hands of
parents and clergy children would never pick up supernatural
beliefs on their own and religion would wither and die. But a
growing body of research in developmental psychology suggests just
the opposite. Children have a natural inclination to believe in
invisible, immortal, super-knowing agents who are responsible for
design in the natural world. For this first part in a series on the
evolved origins of religious belief the doubtcasters review two
books (Justin Barrett's Born Believers and Jesse Berring's the
Belief Instinct) which make the case that religious belief is not
only natural--it is almost inevitable.
