I'm sure it would. They'd still be the human animal, after all. They would revert to instinct, for sure, as that's all they would have. Its a no brainer.MobBoss said:If you took 2 or 20 or 200 infants and left them on an island to themselves without religion I daresay you would end up with a Lord of the Flies situation to the extreme.
