"Humans are born as atheists"

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't keep your elastic clothing untwisted.

Perhaps you lacked belief in them so there is simply an absence: nothing rather than something.

And if babies are born with the inherent gift of magic, then they most certainly are not muggles.
Babies are born with an inherent love of Larry Bird, and are clearly Celtics fans. Unfortunately, the misguided dogma of Lakerism occasionally takes them from the true path.

a and anti prefixes only exist because Theists exist naturally.

The a- and anti- prefix would exist without theists existing.
Bahahahaha...
Even were that true, who cares? Humans are commonly born as superstitious too, if the evidence of the world around me is any indication. They're also born as complete dependents with limited capacity for thought, the ability to generate huge amounts of runny brown poo and sit in it, and a communication reportoire consisting of screaming. Rational thought of any kind requires research, education and practice.
So you think they're theists?
They are neither. They lack opinion.
No, the label is not applicable.
As far as I recall, I was not a communist, either, when I was 3. That does not entail I was a capitalist.

No, of course not. You were apolitical.
And children tend to be a-metaphysical, as well. They do not have any clue of what we are talking about. Yet.
I don't think it makes a lot of sense saying "Kids lack belief in God, and are therefore atheists, or agnostics, or whatever". It is also counter-productive. Small kids think nobody can see them if they only hide their face.
Therefore, so-called default positions, are not necessarily reliable.

Agnosticism is based on a positive claim, so babies aren't agnostic.
The atheism of babies doesn't really matter in and of itself; it's just an implication when we use a reasonable definition for "atheist" that works for adults.
