    Exactly, being on their own, they could start using reason and we know what the outcome of that would be,

    How stupid. A Baby does not have capacity to consider such a question and is mentally incapable of making such a decision. Of course a baby isn't an Atheist. Any Atheist trying to push that sort of belief is surely ignorant of his own arrogance.

    Well then what kind of religion the baby follows? If none, he/she is an atheist. No excuses please.

    Atheism is the lack of belief in a theistic god. So it includes everyone, and everything, without a belief in god. So unless babies DO believe in a god, they're, by definition, an atheist.

    So as you claim they're "incapable of making such a decision", they're atheists.

    according to the dictionary atheist is a person. If you consider a baby to be a person, then he/she is an atheist. If you consider a dead religilous guy a person, than he is an atheist. But he WAS something else.

    Uh none. What part of mentally incapable are you all failing to understand? The baby cannot not believe in God, just as the Baby cannot believe in God. The Baby cannot understand such things.

    Are you that desperate to find more atheists that you would seriously try to push that babies are atheist. Seriously, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

    No, that sort of thinking is so backwards that it's ridiculous. Are you and other Atheists mentally incapable? I don't think you want to go down this road, the fallacy here is going to be too large for you to reply to...

    Hello, do you speak English? According to the English language babies are atheists. Either that, or they are not persons. Sorry to drop that on you, oops.

    Hello? Do you think you could stop posting like a retard long enough to make your point? Hang on...next sentence....

    No, according to you, babies are atheists and that's about as far as it goes.

    A·the·ist - a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.

    A baby is mentally incapable and physically incapable to deny or disbelieve anything, therefore your fallacy is still false.

    Oh ok, another fallacy. Are you quite done acting stupid or do you wish to actually debate your ridiculous point?

    I admin a political forum guy, and while this debate is one of the stupidest I've heard in recent memory, I am more than happy to keep shooting your point down until you either A) Give up, B) Learn how to debate, or C) get some proof. ROFLMAO

    If you'll scroll down the same very page you copypasted that from, you will find:

    World English Dictionary
    atheist (ˈeɪθɪˌɪst) [Click for IPA pronunciation guide]

    — n
    1. a person who does not believe in God or gods


    Go on.

    In my opinion, we cannot immediately label babies as "atheists" from the moment they are born. Atheism is the absence of belief of a Supreme Being, and babies being infants, they are still incapable of grasping the reality of whether they should believe in a Supreme Being or not. They're still at this "Purgatory Stage" wherein they are neither believers nor atheists. Only then would they belong in one faction if they are either baptized soon, or not.

    So once a baby is baptized, he/she automatically becomes a religious person, who accepted Jesus christ as a personal Savior? Am I following you right?

    Oh grow a spine FFS . Atheism is the rejection of any belief system , a conscious choice not a de facto state . I know you want to say that all the brain dead people are atheist but you'll just have to do with your current number of followers . Or are you guys in a race with the Islamists for the title of "world's fastest growing religion" ? In that case you need to forget how to use condoms and start multiplying like frogs .
