In Arabic, setting up any partner alongside God is called Shirk and Mushrikun (those who set up partners) are generally frowned upon in Petrine tradition even if they are Noahide. At the same time, it is taken for granted that the belief of a child who has been brought up to worship God is automatically in the name of their parents. Hence there is such a thing as the age of account where by the age of 40 it is hoped that an individual will have experienced God through their own reasoning not just in the name of someone else.
