Are babies atheists?

I've been thinking about this on and off throughout today. Lil baby in the womb is of no faith. So is the baby an atheist? Does it mean we're all born atheists? Is atheism therefore our default state of being? - and then as we grow and learn/are taught, we either remain in that default state or deviate?

Just something I've been pondering. Feel free to ponder along with me if you like(!) or answer some of the questions if you can or feel to.
