In a thread in Theology 201 where I am not allowed to respond this question was asked based on Romans 2:12-16 that 'God's law is written on our hearts.' This follows the claim that all humans the belief in God is inherent to human nature regardless what one believes, even the most died in the wool atheists.
I believe in a more subtle version of this, but not to the degree that some believe that atheists are dishonest to their inner innate belief in God. The potential of God's attributes exists in the hearts of all humans and a witness to all of our physical existence.
The following posted by thoughtful Monk is what I would like to respond to:
Of course, it is idealistic and unrealistic to argue that ALL religions, churches, and the many diverse and conflicting belief systems believe in the same God.
Likewise, it is idealistic and unrealistic to believe that out of the many religions, churches, and the many other conflicting belief systems that one may be considered the one 'true' belief for ALL of humanity for time immemorial.
I do believe in an inherent nature of God and the attributes of God in all humans, but it is more subtle than proposed in the claims of any one religion or belief system.
More to follow . . .
