"Are children predisposed to belief in a transcendental being?" A developmental psychologist at Oxford University has been researching that question for years. Now her research and her conclusions are published.
It will be a surprise to many, perhaps, but her research indicates that it's likely that children (of whatever ethnicity) are "hardwired" to believe in God.
Children can be talked out of it. Famous atheist Richard Dawkins tries his best to do that, as do others. Dawkins claims that, rather than being natural for kids, faith in God is like a virus which is caught from the parents.
But, as John Lennox puts it, “Not every statement made by a scientist is a scientific statement.”
You don't have to put your faith in Richard Dawkins' opinion.
