Indeed they do. In a quest for knowledge before there was any to be had, someone, or a group of people in every culture, made (drempt, etc.) up deistic explanations to make sense of the world around them. This was passed down generation after generation. Hence, if that knowledge were not forced upon them from birth, they would either:
A. Be an atheist (not believe in a god)
B. Make up their own (false) deity, which would explain why every culture has one. They can't all be right, you know.
