Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not walking is also default when youre born, guess what, life happens, it changes you
If you were to hit a reset button on the world and every human started over with no memory, they would definitely be walking, but there would not be identical organized religions. This is because walking is natural and religion is a creation of man's imagination.
Why do they have to be identical? Religion would happen like it already has, that was my point
I said identical because if there was an inherent truth to any one religion then it would be replicated. It's true that other religions would inevitably pop up, but that doesn't mean they would have any credibility, they would just be random new god(s).
Thats irrelevant the topic you replied to was would religion happen despite being born atheist? The answer is yes
Actually, there is plenty of evidence that as technology and education improves around the world, religion decreases. Most people who are raised in a non-religious family remain unaffiliated. Those who are raised Christian are less likely to remain religious with each passing year.
This is why I don't think religion would take over the world again after a reset, it would remain a minority belief. The Internet allows people to research all religions and come to conclusions on their own.

Your deity of choice (It honestly doesn't matter which religion you subscribe to) saw fit to include the ability for walking, built in.
A feral child wouldn't lack for the ability to move, they just need to survive that long.
This C(c)reator(s) must have been too shy/wise/unknowable to also include the knowledge of their magnificence without another person telling you what to believe however.
If this is what you truly believe, fine. But "life happens" with or without belief in a God.
Yes it can happen, like I said life changes you, so mentioning default state means nothing
If you dont grow up and grow away from imaginary religious nonsense, you are still crawling around on the ground.
sure whatever dehumanizing fantasies make you feel better bud
Dehumanizing fantasies that make you feel better is exactly the sort of imaginary religious nonsense that you need to evolve your thought processes away from, pal.
There are a lot of atheist. But there are a lot more believers. Just you do you brother
