I'm pretty sure that they just brief them something like:

No one is born believing in a god. It's completely taught. Just like Santa and the Easter bunny.
Where you are born and who you are born to has the highest probability of deciding your religion.
Long before children develop critical thinking skills, they are being molded into the beliefs of those around them. As they have no frame of reference for things themselves, so they accept what their elders and leaders tell them.
There is equal evidence for every single god humans have worshipped. So what makes yours the correct one and some else wrong?

It didn’t happen because they were bad at fighting. Christianity offered something pagan religions didn’t: The promise of salvation for ordinary people and most importantly, women.
Children get their religion mostly through their mother. It’s easy to understand why christianity succeeded. It’s promisses are simpler way stronger than those of previous religions. Eternal bliss in heaven sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?7
u/Pleasant-Delay-7369 4h ago
There's definitely a natural instinct to believe in a higher power, or at a minimum unseen forces. Humans have been doing it for all of time. Now, why do we have that instinct? I certainly don't know. Whether there's any truth to a God like being's existence? Also, pretty unclear. However, I wouldn't dismiss the concept as entirely socially constructed and sustained through indoctrination (though of course those elements are prevalent in religion).

Not a higher power but the curiosity and desire to know "why?" Science tells us how. These "higher powers" are a filler for the unknowable "why?"

That depends entirely on your definition of higher power.
What is your definition of a higher power?
Also, it's a bit telling you expand your statement to a minimum of unseen forces. Says a lot about the position you're loosely taking.
2
u/Pleasant-Delay-7369 3h ago
I take exactly the position I mean to take. I do not know if there is a God. I am not demanding someone believe in something I cannot prove. However, I am being told that the one of the most unifying elements throughout human history is insufficient data to even entertain or explore the notion that something like a God might exist.

u/Nottodayreddit1949 2h ago
You are correct.
We should not rule out the idea that a man bitten by a radioactive spider and gained super powers exists. Evidenced by people writing about him repeatedly.
Spiderman has had multiple creation stories from multiple authors over the years and different interpretations.
Same thing with Human creation. All over people created ideas for how we came to be. There is no 1 reoccurring religion that springs up repeated over and over.
I guess the question is. Does Peter Parker need web shooters?

Yes. We like stories.
Now instead of gods, we write other mythical stories.

Attributing things to the will of another is actually a survival instinct instilled in humans via evolution. For example, let’s compare the difference between two men gathering berries in the bush. Both men hear another bush rustling. The man who leaves the bush, assuming the rustling is a predator, probably lives to see another day if he’s right and if he’s wrong he can still find more berries. The man who stays, however, most likely dies if the rustling is indeed from a predator.
It’s actually pretty interesting when you think about it. And this is why young children believe there’s a monster under the bed, or something else, it’s their survival instincts working as intended, making them interpret seemingly mundane things as a threat to keep them alive

I will nitpick on that second to last line and say that some gods have less evidence than others.

u/jakeStacktrace 5h ago
I think the idea is there is zero evidence for existsance of Gods. I always thought the time when Jesus 2nd coming was predicted in the year 1,000 that what was really the year for it to happen and really a missed hyptherical opportunity.
Some religions might have evidence against it, like not finding anything on the top of Mount Olympus, or finding out there isn't really a place in the sky for heaven to exist, or no seismic readings that shows where hell is, but absence of evidence is not the same as evidence against it.

Well, it depends if Simon is younger or older brother. If younger, then he probably did create universe as it’s such a whack job crazy place, but if he is the older one then he probably put his younger brother up to it since he most likely had some more important business to take care of.
