Born with the need to understand how the world works is not the same as religious faith.

It is not hard to come to terms that no one is in charge, atheist parents are successful raising their children with that all the time (I was, too). That is part of the argument that atheists are inherently immoral if they are not taught religious faith.

Morals are an evolutionary development. Religion was pasted on later.

It can be hard if you have to figure it out on your own. I went to church a lot as a kid. And I will tell you there are times as an atheist that I wish there were someone in charge that I could talk to about changing things, and by wish I mean “Why won’t God fix it? That’s right, he’s not real.” My kids, on the other hand, don’t think in those terms.
