There's no such thing as an atheist baby

112. My objection to his argument here is that he is comparing applies and oranges.

There are a variety of ways that one can apply and interpret religious labels. It may have to do with the family, the community, the culture. It may be used in a rather secular way, as we have often discussed here and have more to do with historical connections than religion.

In addition, he is talking about a religious story that was being put on and how children from families with different religious affiliations were being included.

The comparison with groups of a political persuasion, and particularly with groups of no religious persuasion, doesn't raise my consciousness at all.

While I agree with him that babies are born without religion, who is he to say at what point a child may religiously identify or whether religious identity, even if it is primarily cultural, is appropriate for children.

There is no such thing as a catholic, jewish, muslim or catholic child? He' wrong about that.
