As we got smarter and were able to question our existence, mortality and the world around us we made up stories try to explain it all.

The stories got repeated and embellished over time.
Just look at all the similarities between gods and practices of religions in the texts. Noahs flood is a great example of this. The flood story was first told long before Noah. The similarities between say the story in Gilgamesh for example. Not hard to tell it was just repeated over time. It went from 15 cubits in the bible to 30,000 feet able to cover Everest now, just in the span of a couple thousand years. Mary went from being a 'young woman' in the original texts and through bad translations became a virgin, the hebrew word for young woman was either mistranslated or flat out changed on purpose, now everyone believes she wss a virgin, but the original story tellers said she was a 'young woman'.
add 5 or 10,000 years onto other stories like Moses etc.. not hard to see what happened with these stories.

So there was no first person to believe in god (s). Same as their was no first person to speak Spanish. The language changed and evolved over time, like the bible stories.

People aren't born believing in god. Millions of people would tell you they never believed.

Edits.. adding new examples. .
