The discovery that children have a natural inclination to believe
in invisible, immortal, super-knowing agents has some religious
apologists boasting that science has found the sensus divinitatis.
Despite possessing this inner sense of the divine, John Calvin
declared children to be morally corrupt by nature. This doctrine of
total depravity has served as a justification for authoritarian
child-rearing practices aimed at instilling obedience in
strong-willed children. But a close look at the data suggests our
theistic inclinations are byproducts of our cognitive development
and not a special God-given faculty. Likewise, studies on the moral
development of children reveal the foundations for empathy are
present even at a young age. Authoritarian parenting may hinder
that development and contribute to a variety of social ills.
