Religious Babies? : Response to EQ


Question: Is there such a thing as a catholic baby or a muslim baby? What defines and determines someone’s belief system? 

Response: In my own opinion, no, there aren't any babies of any particular religion or group. Like many aspects of life like attitude, habits, likes and dislikes, etc., they are all influenced on where we are born and what family we are born into. Babies are all born with the same malleable minds, but if one is born into a Christian family, odds are, they'll be raised as a Christian and grow up to be a Christian. Where we are born also plays a large part. Say a baby was born in Morocco, unless they were the child of an immigrant family or from a family that had heritage in another country, the odds are that they will be raised with Muslim faiths and ideals. We are born as undefined lumps of flesh and are raised to be a part of a certain group or faith.

  1. I agree that babies are not part of any particular religion or group but do you think that it is wrong for parents to instill their religious beliefs in their children?
