Everyone in the world is born as a Muslim, but their parents make them a non muslim. Every person's rooh (spirit?) knows Allah, but is tainted by the darkness of following excessive desires, and following the shaytan.
That is why in the quran Allah proves evidence and says "Do they not see?" " Do they not understand?"
Many do understand the existence of Allah, and understand his message but are reluctant to accept it because they'll have to give up some of their desires. And then Allah says that there is a disease in their hearts.
Do not be of the people who do not accept Islam because they'll have to subjugate some of their desires.
