Comment: I disagree with John Locke in that all knowledge comes from experience. There is a inherited knowledge that comes through as instincts.
I would say simply believing in a God doesn't change the way you act, almost all of the world claims to believe in some sort of God. But actually following their teachings is what might set them apart.
