Little Hawk:"....Going by memories of my own early childhood...and observation of many others...I'd say that people begin as very curious little beings, full of energy, and hungry to find out everything they can about the fascinating world all around them...NOT with any beliefs yet other than "I am"..."

..and Jesus said, "Unless you become as little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven"....To make that in context, 'becoming as little children' refers to being 'Childlike'...as opposed to 'Childish!'

..and as far as religion goes vs, a God of Spirit....
In the beginning God created man in His own image....and ever since, man has been trying to return the favor!
